After Saturday night it can be confidently stated that all Klaara´s eggs in the nest have hatched. The first trio was hatched by the evening of April 12 (who did so and when only Klaara knows) when what had taken place in the nest became visible on Klaara’s exit flight. On Friday night we noticed egg shells near the three chicks and on Saturday night the foursome was caught in the webcap by Maggy, LK forum.

It is not a speck of dirt on the egg, this egg already ”talks”

White-tailed  eagle     Merikotkas       Haliaeëtus albicilla 

Actually the eggs had already been carefully scrutinised in the morning – what and how? In windless weather the ”squeaking” would have been heard earlier.

So on Saturday we will see the second hatched eagle chick….

Yesterday morning first-time mother Anna had to feed the newly hatched chick for the first time. There was no doubt that the instincts developed over the millennia would not start working, but sometimes it may happen that a bond between the female and the chicks is not created. Today things already run nicely, but a good thing that no new chicks have hatched in the nest…

Black stork    Must-toonekurg        Ciconia nigra

After the last couple of days with poor and rainy weather a nice but cold morning followed. The face of spring changes rapidly.

In the warmth under the female there are already three eggs. In the nest of our black storks the same event can be expected on Saturday morning.

On Wednesday it rained from the evening until midnight and the nest material was soaked all through. Kati tries to get a drainage in the nest bottom so that the rain water will run off faster from the moss. The cold morning was close to 0 degrees and male stork Karl is in no hurry to leave the nest for a wet nature with frost at the ground.
