Black Stork Nest in Karula 2019

[pazi]

So.. much.. moss!

I had to laugh out loud when I first opened the camera after a two-day Swedish trip. I immediately knew who had been busy and could picture the process in my mind. (IN..OUT..IN..OUT..IN..)

15:13 A butterfly danced in the nest and settles on the curved branch


15:20 The butterfly returned and is sitting next to Karl II . He does not know that black storks love butterflies. They seem to taste good

15:25 Egg rolling and nest bowl aerating by Karl II


Karl II shakes his plumage and settles down on egg for incubation duty.

16:05 I think Karl II enjoys lying in this soft moss bed

Teine Karl is incubating.

Thank you, Liz, Solo and Biker for all wonderful pictures.

18:15 Karl II is snoozing on the nest


18:16 Kati arrives


18:16 Karl II sneaks out. No mating today?
I think the hormonal pleasures are coming to an end. Well, as Liz said, four eggs is enough.

Good evening All,
and thanks for all beautiful pictures!

Our BS-couple has now a beautiful moss-nest, but when it comes time for feeding...
it's interesting to see how diligently Karl II brings fish to the chicks...
hopefully the nest will not change to a fish pool

It could be interested for you too. I think our way of identifying them, without rings, has been very right so far.
