Feet, feet, feet


Storklet at the left went for a walk, great!

Good! Nature has been too long without it.

16:10 a jay?



A Mistle Thrush. Thanks @Hagnat

[Timea]

16.11:

Looks like a Jay wanted to land on the nest. Edit: Don't think it was a Jay, but it went by so fast, hard to ID it.

Once it saw the Storklets, it fled to the left, landing on a tree


One Storklet rattled its beak!

[Hagnat]

16:10 a jay?...

A Mistle Thrush. He was the one who rattled.

[UteL.]

.... and a or two stork clattered in shock, very short, Hagnat

EDIT Fractions of seconds!

A Mistle Thrush. He was the one who rattled.

Thanks Hagnat! That's the one, after you ID-ed it, I googled it. Do Mistle Thrushes ratlle when in danger, or was it a Storklet who did this? I think it was a Storklet.

Mistle Thrushes rattle in all kinds of probably uneasy situations, sometimes with no apparent reason.
I was distracted by the thrush. There was bill snapping by one or more storks.

Sheer chaos! Kati arrived and immediately regurg. Could not see what was brought.


And she leaves right after it.

[Swenja]

16:56 Kati comes home, feeding



Kati flies away

[UteL.]

There a fish looks out of the beak of Kati and does not suspect anything good

16:57:02


17:27:58 Kati here? (clatter)

[UteL.]

The chicks do not find the day so funny today. As soon as they are dry, it starts again.
And again they have to clean themselves, all alone
