8:18 Gaja? has arrived home. No, it is Kaupo.
They have begged, but not intense enough? I takes a minute, before they have started.

Decision on this year's webcam nest.
.....this nest will not be ringed this year. There are two reasons - I still have not received the rings and I'm already need it of other nests and, above all, the hysteria caused by incompetence by the bad effect of ringing does not undermine
the positive publicity of DD webcams (not thinking specifically about a storks and without thinking about what someone thinks about me) even theoretically. This nest is not risk-free to minimize risk, it should have been ringing already a week ago and, for technical (access) reasons, it should only be done by tapping off live. No matter how professional my assistants climb to the nests, I can not exclude the risk (and it increases with each passing day) and, of course, if after the live streaming of the rest of the nest there were 3 storklet with rings, the hysteria would be indescribable. ............

So, no rings for the storklet. I understand the reasons very well.

Today it will be another hot day.


Tomorrow It's getting colder

Digestion of the chicks is very good. They must have eaten half a ton yesterday

11:42 someone startled them. It must have been some kind of bird of prey. They clattering with their bill and are growling .

12:20 Kaupo was here again.. without feeding
Kaupo seems worried. Maybe in context with the incident at 11:42

[Liz01]

12:51 Kaupo was here again and flew away without feeding
He looks around and flies away. What does he see?

Good evening together,

20:14 Kaupo was here and has fed his babies.

The storklets chirped and begged for food. All tried to grab Kaupos beak. But Kaupo was totally patient.


It was a big tohuwabohu. I couldn't see anything. It was probably not much food, because it was eaten within 10 - 15 seconds.


20:15:34 Kaupo left.


Liz, you're welcome :). Thanks to you for todays reports, pics and videos!
I hope, it was not a goshawk which has startled the storklets today!
The pics from the Karula nest are shocking enough.

Good late evening to all!

All four cuties are preening.


I'm already so big and can stand already so long...

[Birdfriend]

All are active in this late evening.
"Let me under your soft belly, dear sibling!"


For some minutes the stream was interrupted.

Good night little storklets, sweet dreams!
