In view of Karl II's long excursion, another thought occurred to me:
What if Karl II, in view of the 4 eggs, is so intelligent that, as a precaution, he explores the surrounding area for possible further food sources, in case there should come a bottleneck in the hot summer weeks in the vicinity, where mainly his food sources are ?
After everything we have seen of our wonderful Karl II so far, i would trust him to do so.
But it is only a thought, not more
I think that is quite possible, Balistar.
Karl II is indeed a very clever bird.
In 2019, when the storklets on other nests died of starvation, Karl II still managed to bring enough food to his nest...
Presumably he had to fly to many different places to do so, some also further away. He must have known those places in advance, I think.
But as always, it is almost impossible to detect (or prove) the conscious intentions of a bird...
We can only guess why they do 'this' or 'that'.
19:00 Still no Karl II
@Heloise
the question is, how long will Kaia last?..
