Macko you got the moment when the Storklets and Tiit was "arguing" about the stick. I saw it, and it was so funny. The chicks took the stick, but Tiit took it from them and put it back in place...but the chicks tried again..Tiit will have the nest in order, no interference thank you
- I took a picture of it, but it is difficult to see the stick:

It were little pikes, weren't they?

George thanks for those videos. Thanks to everyone for posts,news and pics.
Wow,those BS chicks are growing at the rate of knots.
Tiit is a very careful parent bird,keeping the chicks from harm.

This is from earlier at 21:25 or so (something happened & I was bumped off looduskalender & then for a couple of hours it would not come up-- kept saying could not connect ).

Tiit's leg was poking out from his feathers. It was raining hard.

It's still raining hard.
Tiit is in the nest and the egg is again lying beside.


taking a breath for all of them



and down again


Now he is fighting against the chicks' desire to come out...

One of the chicks is outside. If the weather was fine, the parents wouldn't have to cover the chicks at all, and stayed beside like last year.

16:21 - Impatient kids, heads and beaks are sticking out everywhere

[asteria]

Black feathers on the wings are already seen!

Good morning everybody!

Protest under the plumage...




and then it fells asleep again and glides inside.





and its raining, and raining, and raining.....

Good morning!
I have wondered watching videos of exchange. First noisy storklets stay quiet and almost play dead when adult arrives, take some seconds when they recognise there is no danger and hope of food instead.

[macko50]

Good morning Everybody!

9:10 Change and feeding - not too much food.

18:29 - Nice to have someone to lean on

[Lussi05]

19:16 - Parent is sitting on the branch (I don`t know if it is Tiina or Tiit), and the storklets are alone in the nest. Is it for the first time?


Edit: 19:37 - The Storklets are clinging to each other, their safety is gone and they have to stick together...Asteria wrote about the developing of their black feather yesterday, and now I think they are clearly visible on their wingtips.


I forgot:
baska your pictures of the storklet who is falling asleep on Tiits back are wonderful
