Latvian black storks - 2018

[Michi]

6:01:46 it starts sooooo sweet!

Hello Liz, hello all together,
so it begins already today!
That's why the storks have brought so much nest material in the last days. They have known it.

Thank you for the video and the reports, Liz! The egg talk was clear to hear.

Is that a small crack in the egg in front, on the right outside?

Michi
It could be, yes. But it could also be a little moss in front of the egg?
We will see more very soon, I think.

The dark point one can see in these two pics is at the same place on the egg as the one in the pic from 13:23, - although the egg was moved to another place in the nest. That's why I think, it is maybe no moss or something else.

13:13:19


13:13:21


Solo, Anne

Solo and Liz, yes, Gaja is a real beauty!

[Michi]

Michi, take a look 13:48! It should be visible. Ligzdas Gariņš saw it

Liz, Gaja was not up at 13:48. I looked at 13:13 and saw what you've meant. Yes, this looked like a small crack.

It looks like a little hole!
Come on, little chick, keep on working. We are waiting for you.

[Michi]

14:53 Poor Gaja is breathing a bit heavily. Again it must be very hot. And she can't search for shadow.

[Liz01]

15:06 again I can see the hole. the hole is in the egg in front


Kaupo comes home .. alarm calling. Oh my.. must be the intruder

[Liz01]

15:09 Kaupo flew away again..

[Michi]

Kaupo comes home .. alarm calling. Oh my.. must be the intruder

I saw it. First I thought, what a big and long greeting of both. Then I saw that it was alarm calling.

[Liz01]

It was a quick clearing of the fronts. Three minutes and the intruder was gone

15:06 Kaupo has arrived

[Solo]

It was a quick clearing of the fronts. Three minutes and the intruder was gone

OMG, no - peace for this nest
