Liz, an evidence for Olga, thank you I will also be gone for some hours, not easy, because of everything that happens in these times

Is it those like a little frog voices between 18s - 22s??..for three four times??

Does it come from that black spot on the egg in front??

I have to leave in 60 minutes:

Olga and Lussi, I will try to document the progress while you are away.

After what seemed like weeks of "nothing happening", today is exciting

Hello all,

Liz
Is it those like a little frog voices between 18s - 22s??..for three four times??

Yes, the sounds at 18s - 22s came from a storklet, very clear to hear.
And you saw the first little hole! I haven't seen it before.
It will probably take hours until the little one is out. So you should not miss too much.
I will also watch todays happenings and try to document.
Have a nice day, Olga and Lussi!

[Jo UK]

Michi, I shall be glad of your company. I may not always be here at just the right moment.
Two of us will see more than one.

[Michi]

O.k., Jo! The same here. We will try to do our best!

Does this show a hole in the egg?



I think it is safe to go and make coffee. Surely Kati will remain in place for a while?

[Abigyl]

I come in from time to time, hope to be the lucky one...

I'll write if I see it coming.

[Jo UK]

Thanks, abigyl. I see Juta here, too.

Kati stood for a few minutes. Egg talk was very loud and clear at 13.31 - 32. but nothing new to see.

Difficult to see. Maybe it is. In Olgas last picture the hole is good to see.

About 13:32 Kati stood up and rolled the eggs. The light was so bright, that one couldn't see the eggs properly.
But one could hear them! Again egg talk!

[Jo UK]

Egg talk again at 13.39
A clearer, stronger voice. Maybe the hole is bigger now.

[Michi]

13:39 Egg rolling. The hole is good to see.


13:40 Back on eggs


13:58 Kati was up again, shaking her feathers

[Abigyl]

14:13 She is up

Eggs sounded very loud.

She rolled a little and covered

[Birdfriend]

14:11 Kati stands up and aerate the nest bowl. The hole has still the same size.

At this pic is the hole not to see.
I think, the hatch will need still some hours.
