I know there is no cam but I thought that they'll check the area from time to time to see what is going on with him and the others there.
I do not think you can go to the breeding area now.
Maybe in a few weeks, when there are chick and they are old enough for ringing them

16:51 A Stork arrived. I don't know if it's the same as there was before. To me he/she seems to be smaller or more slim.
Or is it only the distance to the cam, that let the stork look smaller?
Edit: I see now, who is who. Thanks, Liz!

Michi, thank you for your Pictures!
Google does not translate everything reliably. Some words are so special that there is no choice in GT.
The simpler the sentences, the better for me and for GT.
But you can understand what M.S. means.

No, there is almost nothing. Maybe it's because of the not cleared relationships?
Though you have reported about many matings in the morning. That looked like a good relationship.
There are still many questions.

At first she pushed him. Then she recognized him.

17:57 Both storks have left the nest. First the female - if I'm right - and only some seconds later the male.

18:13 A stork arrived - the male, I think.
Several times he digged the nest bowl, moved two sticks, pooped and
left the nest already at 18:15.
18:14
He sticks his beak very deep into the nest bowl!
