Thank you garina do mar for the pictures and summaries! I have been busy .. and nervous be cause of waiting for Donna.. It is so intersting, all what you have written. What you told:
And this "visitor" came several times without being chased :puzzled:
Strange isn't it?
..yes, it is most surprising! Maybe there is some natural explanation to this way of behaving.. but who knows what. Propably only the Black storks do, for the moment.. :puzzled:

The mother and her two cuties and one beautiful eggs :rolleyes: Tomorrow there will be three cuties!

at 19:30 about

When the mother stood up the chicklets too stood up at once, they tried hard, but to get the balance is an other thing.

Image

You can see the tiny back and the tiniest tail ever seen of the other chick, and the eyes and beak of the other one.

Image

at 21:50

The head is so heavy that other fell towards the mattres. How fragile their little bodies still are the stronger is their vitality..

The other one is seemingly bigger than the one day younger one, isn't it.. :rolleyes:

Image

Image

When the female Black stork sat down she begun to move moss closer and tighter, to hold the little ones and the egg warm, I think.
