Jo, I agree. I was happy to hear from Urmas thanking me for my donation and telling me how difficult it will be to get the money and people needed for this project. He also sent two photos which later appeared here in the forum. It was so touching to me to see Kaia and Karl coming for the food.Jo UK wrote: ↑May 30th, 2023, 11:40 pm Thanks, Helen44.
This is a good place for this discussion, but whether we can learn more from further discussion of the same - I don't know. Each individual must work out what he/she will decide. For now, we know of some black storks that need our help. Those of us who want to will give that help.

to all!
Dove nesting on my balcony finished tragically. On Sunday evening the female disappeared, the father flew away for night, returned in the morning and spent day time with the chicks. I consulted with a ornitologist and she said it's OK, one parent could take care of the kids too, but it turned out the male neighter fed them nor warmed and I have just found them dead!

I am very sorry for the little pigeons @asteria
Chick deaths are always heartbreaking. No matter which chick it hits.

Kaia is still bothered by the mess of the nest edge.
Karl II was supposed to fix that. The chicks begin to hatch.

Kaia stands up and is flapping the wings. She covers the eggs right back.
She is waiting for Karl II.

09:46 Who is there?
Karl II is at home. Nice greeting!
He takes care for the eggs and Kaia flies away.
Karl II heard a quak from the egg.

Karl II rolls the eggs.
He covers the eggs.
Karl II does not rest for long. He starts loosening the nest trough.

about 10:10 an egg has a hole.
There is also a stain on the other egg. Nesting material? Dirt? Or "escape route"
Hello aunty @Sabsy
you're welcome!
edit: now I don't need headphones anymore. Binoculars now!

Hello everyone
Every now and then one can hear the egg.
12:19 Karl II gets up.
He preens.
He ruffles his feathers.
He aerates the nest floor.
12:20:32 He turns an egg. The chick quacks (I think).
12:21 Karl II covers the eggs.

Asteria, so sorry to hear the sad news.

13:05:40-41 another little "quack" could be heard.
(I don't mention them all)
Is it hot on the nest? It's a bit windy.
