What a beautiful sunrise and a few minutes ago some nice noises of storklets could be heared.

Papa Karl stands up. 4 eggs, but no storklet to see. They speak throug the eggshells.




I think, today will be good time for hatching.

6:43 Karl II was feeding the little storklet with a pellet. It's too early for feeding. He will be a great parent

[Liz01]

Yesterday I made a video because I heard unusual chirping from the egg. This morning I heard that voice again. It's like a trill. It's not the normal chirping before they hatch.
