Black Stork Nest in Karula 2019

[Liz01]

5:52 Kati stands up, shakes her plumage, is doing a PS... wing beating.She settles on the eggs.. but one or two eggs are under her wing

It looks very cold.. frost is on her wings



5:57 she is rolling the egg, that was outside, in the middle of the nest and covers it too.

[Liz01]

5:56 stress! There is someone




Karl II was not here in the morning. and he did not appear late in the evening?

[Liz01]

6:43 Kati stands up, is scratching her head . Short aerating the nest bowl and back on eggs
There is still ice on her wings


7:13 another egg rolling and aerating

I hope we see Karl II soon. It seems unusual to me that he is not here

[Liz01]

7:49 Kati is still on the eggs

last egg rolling was 7:13 AM

So we have to wait for Karl II.

[Liz01]

8:01 another egg rolling and I see a good PS (she has eaten well)
weather .. 4° + and it will be up to 16° +

Good Morning

Kati gets up, she has to go to the bathroom ... pokes briefly in the nest and lies down again

[Liz01]

8:10 she is preening her left wing and back to rest
Now and then she breathes very visibly. Breeding is very exhausting.

8:40 wing stretching and she rolls the eggs. very short

[Summi]

Good morning
The egg twice not under Kati's belly? It is hard to believe that it is inattentiveness. Where is Karl?

Happy Easter!

[Liz01]

I checked the file in the archive

The last change was yesterday at 15:10

21:01 two eggs were not covered

Pic is deleted... Anne already has done pictures

BTW: She must be exhausted!

This buzzard should beware of storks itself.

I think it was a buzzard. Pics are captured from my video, so without date stamp

Hello, everyone
Many thanks for pictures, videos and reporting.

It is bizarre that Kati didn't cover one egg, several times.
Could it be a strategy to reduce the brood size?

It is also strange that Karl II stayed away for so long.
I guess we will never know the reason. He came home with muddy feet.

Thank you, Liz!
I believe it could have been a rough-legged buzzard. (Buteo lagopus)

09:32 Karl II finally came home.


09:33 He took care of the eggs.


09:35 He covered the eggs
