Black Stork Nest 2, Jan and Janika, 2021

[Solo]

... 12:08:20 a beautiful orange butterfly visited, the storklets this time didn't notice, they were busy with preening ... maybe a silver-washed fritillary Argynnis paphia (male?)

Balistar,
thanx
(I am not familiar with butterflies - maybe Liz can confirming that)

17:24:35 they start chirping, 17:24:46 they are in circle
17:25:02 Jan arrived
- feeding: 1 very big fish for No3 (No3's fish fell and No1 picked it up, but No3 got it back and swaloved)
- Jan regurgitated 2 fishes (at least), first one and then the other
17:25:26 Jan out

correction1 the first fish for No1 (No3's fish fell and No1 picked it up and swaloved it) and the next for No3, for sure or ...
correction2 or was it just part of one fish? - A fish's tail protruded from No1's bill at Jan's departure (and 1 fish also for No2 )

definitely: 1 fish No1 and 1 fish No3

edit:
here is the proof (17:25:40)

17:25 Parent arrived (Jan)


Fish for storklet Nr.1.


Storklet Nr.3 got the big one after a bit tug of fish. Jan is the Black Stork of the year 2021!


So two fishes at this feeding.

...So two fishes at this feeding.

at least 3x rewinded on the big TV screen and 5x rewinded in slomo in PC

thanx for shots

[Summi]

The storklets are so big now and block the view, so it is more and more difficult to ascertain what has been regurgitated and who gets it. You are all very good at finding out and no detective like Sherlock Holmes is needed for it.

Solo how was your trip to nature?

18:45:08 Jan is here again
- feeding: 1 big fish for No2 (after short tug of war with both siblings) and the second ... (maybe for No1 - I will check it once more); yes No1 is the winner (tug of war No1 and No2!)
18:45:53 Jan out

EDIT:
youtube chat info:
5:58 PM Urfin Juice​
I am not sure about the 2nd fish. Very hard to see. Maybe No 2 got that one too? The crop also looks quite huge to me now.
6:02 PMM Lo's
​I’m pretty sure No 3 got that second fish. Nothing for No 1.
6:04 PMM Lo's​
I watched it a few more times and looks like No 3 won most of the second fish

next rewind in slomo and the result is: № 2 got both fish (most probably)

1/ the first fish for № 2 (18:45:33)


2/ the second fish most probably № 2 too

18:45 Dad is coming.


Big fish, bit tug of fish.


Finally Nr.2 is the winner.

[Birdfriend]

Ah, good Jan regurgitated another one. The light is a bit difficult that time.
I guess the second fish for that chick.
No, I'm not sure, which storklet had it.



Look at this swollen neck from Nr.2. He/she is sated til tomorrow.

Solo how was your trip to nature?

Summi, thanx for your interest - it was very good: the trip corresponded to a hot summer day - the route at a calm pace with a slight elevation and at the end swimming in a natural lake

and that is the proof - № 2 swaloved both big fishes

[Birdfriend]

The storklet has heard all the worries about him from what I've read. Smart guy.

Birdfriend, they really take turns - one day one is doing more well and the next day the next and so on

thanx for shots
