8:40 two raven are calling near
8:42 there was a gap .. storklet is making himself big and is clattering with the beak
8:43:45 raven are calling not far on the left

brief begging that quickly turns into threatening

[Liz01]

8:46 Raven is calling on the left

8:48:44 Raven is flying around
8:57 ravens are still nearby ...

[Liz01]

9:20 a big bird arrived

I never heard such voices by the storklets . No idea how was there. Flew off with a loud bang!

[Liz01]

9:51 one of them flew out. I hope it is not the hungry one
10:10 he is back in the nest..

I'm away for a few hours

10:33 a storklet left the nest

10:36 one is alone at home .. another came in
11:03 storklet flew from the parents branch into the forest!






after that.. the other was alone the whole day

[chrisitz]

hello dear all,
it is so hard to watch.....what will happen? they can fly already, will they have a chance to find food and survive on their own?

[Liz01]

13:38 no feeding till now.
2 are away - 1 is waiting in the nest

their chances of survival are extremely poor if it continues. And it looks like that.

17:53 storklet is still waiting for a meal.. the others are still away
one of the storklets is more than 3 days without food!

18:12 storklet is looking around. someone is near
18:44 Storklet flew away and returned.. it does not know where to fly .. there is nothing

18:47 it wants to leave the nest
18:48 and out again.. please stay away ..

end of documentation...
