after feeding

[Liz01]

7:40 Aru is still in the nest

[Solo]

Tatjana, Oru would have come to the nest if he/she was hungry. He/she is already looking for food himself and I think he / she is successful

Good morning Liz thanks for good news - shots, video, comments

[Liz01]

[Solo]

...*still dark ... *can recognize Aru standing ...

Aru walked to the curved branch and stood there (I though that Michi will put here the evening shots)

Does Aru have an appetite? 09:50 Another feeding, he did not eat much, ate two fish. Carl, thanks, wonderful father!

[visit]

as far as i've seen it, Aru ate only 1 or 2 fishes - and again enough and big fishes !

[Poliff]

Are you sure it's not an umbrella bird ?






10:02 After the second feeding, the remaining fish in the nest jumped on it. That is, Karl2 brought the freshest catch.

[Solo]

the biggest fish is still flapping, poor fish :-(

[visit]

yes i had seen it, too, Solo - poor fish - but interessting, how long a fish can survive in a Karls stomach..., but we don't know, the time.
Aru isn't hungry - and not even starts to hunt this living fish.
wonder what Karl will think when he comes next time and the fishes still aren't eaten.

[Katerina]

Oru, come, Aru is waiting for you for Sunday lunch, prepared such a table!

[Tatiana60]

... He/she is already looking for food himself and I think he / she is successful.

Liz, thank you for noticing my publications, I also hope that he is already in the feeding places of other storks and he hunts himself.

youtube chat:
"Nadiezda Butkiene ​Есть сообщение, что Ору уже в Латвии, так что с ним все хорошо." - There is a message that Oru is already in Latvia, so everything is fine with him.

Jo, pls, Urmas send info to someone about Oru? (birdmap is without update)

[Tatiana60]

If possible, tell us where our 716O ...

[Hellem]

11:45 Aru walked back into the nest from the curved branch

[Solo]

11:45:50 Aru is back from curved branch in nest (Aru know not what to do with these fishes)

Jo, pls, Urmas send info to someone about Oru? (birdmap is without update)

Solo, it is true that Oru is in Latvia and travelling south.
We are not yet allowed to publish his tracker map. Urmas asks us to wait until Oru has been entered to the Migration map.
Juta will phone to Urmas and then the situation maay change. The main purpose of holding back this information is to make sure that the location of the nest is not made public. Of course, we want to honour that restriction and keep our nesting birds safe from "strange pople" who would do damage to it.
