10:24:26 they sat down in the nest. On the right is Udu, on the left is Tuul.
10:24:34 Karl II appeared in the nest.
Image
10.25.43 it is not possible to feed yet, but perhaps the father has his own goals... his beak opens slightly, but does not open as much as possible, and his neck is swollen and it is clear that there is a big fish there.
10.26.15 it is clear that the Udu is in the background.
10.26.26 he closes his beak and drives it between the children
10.26.45 the fish is near the Pikne.
10.26.48 the father takes a step back to the far edge of the nest
10.27.11 step forward again. The beak is slightly open. The fish is in the throat, but not in the beak.
10.27.45 fish at Pikne
Image
10.28.00 I see 2 big fish.
Image
One at Pikne, the other at Udu.
10.28.01 the third fish is coming, the father is standing on the leg of the Udu, there is a fish at the Pekne https://i.mycdn.me/i?r=AyH4iRPQ2q0otWIF ... xM0pipKGPg
10.28.02 Pikne eats his prey, and Tuul and Udu fight for the fish.
10.28.03 Pikne swallows his fish and tries to take it away from Udu, but it didn't work out - Udu managed to swallow the fish.https://i.mycdn.me/i?r=AyH4iRPQ2q0otWIF ... ijyaBRSSVQ
10.28.17 Karl II departs, turns around, tries to burp something else . https://i.mycdn.me/i?r=AyH4iRPQ2q0otWIF ... SgUC-DR1Ag

10.28.40 flew away
10.28.53 he's back
10.29.03 Tuul grabs a small fish
10.29.12 the father turns around
10.29.14 departs

Did you manage to leave something?
Or is it luring children out of the nest?
Let's take a look at the slow motion.
10.28 I saw one big fish, which went to the average chick 716P
10.28 a big fish is going to the Pickne.
Many thanks, Tatiana! :wave:

The lens is so blurry in the middle of our image! It's very difficult to see what exactly is happening there. :slap:
Karl II also regurgitated a few smaller fish, right after the big fish (eaten by Pikne)

Here Pikne has already grabbed the big fish. But there is more coming out of Karl II's beak.
Image

It wasn't much food for the other storklets, I think, but everything is better than nothing. :-)

10:57 They still collect something...

Image

They're always looking for something in one place... is there a little water in it? They swallow and water drips from the tip of the beak...
Pikne and Udu :rolleyes:

Drops in the nose and sneezing tell us that Kaya had frogs in the last feeding...
I don't stop admiring our storks. Look at some family photos. They are now happy to pose for us.

14.18.45 Karl II
14.19.01:
Image
14.19.11 he opened his beak, but we can't see what he gave.
For a moment, a fish flashed to the right of the Udu's tail.
14.19.18 he turned around, flew away.
The children were still picking up something in the nest for some time.
Tuul was sitting from behind the Oud and it was not visible whether he got at least something in his beak, but at 14.19.22 it was clear that he was swallowing something.

Tuul stands on the very edge of the nest. Under the nest, you can hear the crunching of branches-probably it's a Pikne walking. The Udu taps with its beak.

14.44 Udu flies to the right

14.44.37 Tuul is worried. He was left alone.
Image
The wind is rising.
14.58.18 Udu returned
Image

15.01.04 Pikne returned. All three in the nest.
15.04.53 A tired but happy Pikne is sitting in front of the camera. the eyes are wide open...
Image
15.07.49 Tuul approached him and, apparently, feels sorry for him... Tuul scratches Pikne neck.
