Hellooooo!

Currently they look like Iroqois!

Hello together,

OMG! The poor storklets seem to be wet til to their skin.
Just good that they are already so big. So they can cope for certain with it without getting ill.

The new White Stork cam I didn't know yet. Thanks a lot for the hint! It's indeed - as always at Looduskalender cams - a great view!

Have a nice evening!

Greetings from Michi

20:20 It seems that the rain has stopped. The storklets look no longer wet.

Huhu Michi

Today it wasn't raining but snowing! - down feathers

[baska]

Hello together

It is so funny to watch them!
They accelerate to change their plumage by plucking the down feathers themselves!











tired from work

[Michi]

Baska, thank you for the interesting pics! The storklets develop very well!

I've two pics from the day before yesterday, June 29th, at about 19:20. They have almost lost the down feathers on their heads.

Good evening,
the storklets have changed their appearance again. They look almost adult.




Meanwhile it is difficult to get them completely on the photo. They are too big.

Hello Michi!
Where are the others???

The youngsters are certainly able to fly since about one week (due to their plumage),
but the nest got really cramped conditions, that they hardly cannot exercise....

Yesterday in the early morning it was the first time, I saw someone doing a reall jump!



jumping!






Flew off? We never can be sure because of the bad view into the nest.......

.

[baska]

Yesssss, they got it! Finally they know to fly!!!






06:30 CEST off he went...





06:40 CEST back again

[baska]

suddenly two of them disappeared
09:15 CEST

the last one didn't dare...




then the second one came back


and now they are waiting for the third one
10:15 CEST
Dance of joy for the return of the third one!

baska & Michi, great thanks for your pictures and informations. So happy about the Youngsters!

Unfortunately, I had little time, but every day I looked in...
Always all three young were in nest
I had worry, they would never leave the nest
Where they already so ready looked for fledging

Nice weekend to you both

[baska]

Good morning Black swan!
I wish you a nice weekend, too!

06:23 CEST

06:25 CEST

about 06:40 CEST

07:30 CEST, all three back again

[Michi]

Baska Thank you for the marvelous pictures and your reports! What a surprise to see an empty nest!
I didn't knew, that the storklets already are fledged. Every time when I looked at the nest, all three were there.

Like here ... about 18:45
Look at the storklet on the nest rim! How can he/she sit in that way without falling out of the nest?

[Michi]

Thank god, the storklet is safely back in the nest!


Black Swan
Have all a nice sunday evening!
