Black Stork nest in Portugal

[garina do mar]

40º C (on the shadow) is quite normal here. Since May until October. You can get here in the sun more than 50.

It's good for them to be acquainted with the temperatures on the desert when they migrate.

BTW, near 0 in the winter.

Hmmm, same place/platform like yesterday.

The youngster is still on his platform I think. I saw a feeding action around 14:45h. The clip I recorded is very long and not such a good quality. My videocut program somehow do not like the format/codec.
May be I missed a flight, but I do not believe it.

I saw only the shadow on the rock

at present I see no vulture ( 15:47 por. time )

[garina do mar]

No!

Only BS mother on the nest! she is on the right side of the same platform that the vulture occupied. You can see a black shadow in there

I'm not sure, sorry
it fascinates me, this bird.
I have a picture of November 2009. there are 2 on the platform

good morning

8:00 loodus time
many small birds fly at an entrance to the rock. They have a white belly, I think.
Last night I saw them already, they will spend the night?

[fireblade1]

And I saw this bird today

brushing the feathers



it seems he is warm has wide wings

[fireblade1]

Still there. 19:08h.
I think it is the first time that he is back on this height.

[Fleur]

I actually wait until he flies away.
He's sitting there very long

[Fleur]

19:59
still present
look around, wings spread,
and it seems like he almost falls asleep

[Fleur]

wow, look at the wing...



lean against the rock...

[Fleur]

I think he is tired.
the eyes are closing
but remains vigilant

He will stay overnight?





I had to look , but he sleeps with the head down
