They began chirping in a circle and it seemed that they did it as if by reflex - when we do it, food will arrive by a parent as usual.
They must be hungry today!

[Solo]

20.24 it starts raining
20.34 the rain shower is here
21.04 it stopped raining

20:38:34 (look like a drowned rat)

real punks

[Solo]

21:17:05 and our trio lay down to rest


21:46:18 they seem to sleep deep

[Summi]

So little food and last time the storklets were fed already four hours ago. It's not like Jan.
I'm worried that they must go to bed hungry.

[Solo]

21.55 wake up and they chirping

21:55:43 Jan is here
- feeding: more fishes = 2 nice sized (Summi )
- one fish for №3 and the second for №32 (tug of war as always)
21:55:59 Jan out

shots by Birdfriend thanx https://www.looduskalender.ee/forum/vie ... 79#p819479

№3

... I'm worried that they must go to bed hungry.

maybe rain also in Jan's fishing place

№3 and №2 - nice big crops

[Birdfriend]

21.55 wake up and they chirping

21:55 Parent arrived, Jan.


Feeding, two big fishes.
One for Nr.3 and one for Nr.2. Or were it three fishes for everyone? No, I guess Nr.1 had no fish, so two.

Solo and Birdfriend

Jan read about out worries that the storklets must go to bed hungry and hurried to make it up to them. Great Dad!

Good night

I wish I could somehow remove this branch hanging over the nest

July 28
Hello everyone

OVERVIEW 27.07.2021 https://www.looduskalender.ee/forum/vie ... 56#p819256

- on July 12 - the youngest/fourth chick (Benjamin) perished 25 day old (unknown reason)
- on July 16 the chicks got ring (7181,7182,7183) and the body was removed for examination

trio hatched on June 14 + 14 and 15 - they are today 44 and 43 day old

OVERVIEW 28.07.2021

it is not uncommon for a female and a male to go to different places for food and bring other types of food
therefore, some people think that Janika brings smaller food
even after repeated slow-motion viewing, I can't say 100% in each case who was on the nest

Jan in at 07:46:12 with wet straw
1/ 07.46 FEEDING by Jan (sure) - remains of one soft fish very probably, №2 swaloved it
- chicks alone: from 07:46:48 (Jan out) to 11:07:54 (Jan in)
2/ 11.08 FEEDING by Jan - more (not big) fishes for all chicks
- chicks alone: from 11:09:06 (Jan out) to 14:17:03 (Jan in)
3/ 14.17 FEEDING by Jan - not big pile of something for all (maybe) - edit: little fishes (thanx Birdfriend)
- chicks alone: from 14:17:17 (Jan out) to 19:14:32 (Jan in)
4/ 19.14 FEEDING by Jan - not big pile of something for all (maybe)
- chicks alone: from 19:14:41 (Jan out) to 20:33:13 (Janika in)
5/20.33 FEEDING by Janika (sure) - pile of food, maybe Portuguese slugs (thx Summi)
- chicks alone: from 20:33:29 (Janika out)

very probably all nestlings got food in each feeding

[Solo]

07:46:12 nestlings start chirping, Jan immediately in with wet straw
07:46:13 Jan in

08:09:39 with intense waving they are already trying to jump out
(as if they were on their fingertips - the heels are in the air)


08:11:00
