Black Stork Nest in Karula 2022

[Tatiana60]

19 june


04:02 it became a little lighter, the stork clicked his beak, touched all the children
04:02:42 he flew away, the children immediately quieted down
04:33 night shooting switched to daytime.
05:07 Kaia arrived, No. 3 greeted her first
04:33 night shooting switched to daytime.
05:08 she feeds, but very little, the children ask for more and she tries and gives 1-2 more small fish and goes to the edge of the nest.
The children are not full, they move to her and sing, the younger one repeatedly touches her beak.... Oh, baby, don't make mom nervous...


05:16 the children fell silent and lay down in a tight lump in the center of the nest. No. 2 also touched his mother's beak. The stork looked very carefully at No. 3 and No. 2... I don't like it when she looks like that. But everything is fine - the children have settled down, calmed down.

But she didn't like that the children were lying quietly, she touched them, the children moved, she turned away. The alarmed children got up, they are not making noise, but all three are asking for food. Even No. 1 got up and sings, playing his trumpet, No. 2's voice shimmers like a stream, and No. 3 is closest to his mother, he imitates the average and also sings trills... I really want to say, "Kaya, fly away to hunt."..

05:17 the children lay down again, not hoping for food... they fell silent. Kaye looks thoughtfully into the forest and seems to fall asleep standing on one leg. On its plumage, a faded and slightly battered brown stripe of feathers is visible, apparently, it does not have to hunt very calmly...

05:58 pensive stork... What are you thinking, Kaia?...



06:04 Karl II arrived.
Kaia starts greeting without turning around... Kaia starts greeting without turning around... although the children have already managed to get up... look at the photo...


She never turned around. She sang something, walked slowly to the left edge of the nest and flew away... Probably complained about the failures... She walked so thoughtfully that I even decided that maybe she wouldn't fly away... but no. Kaia went hunting. Fly, girl, eat and bring something to the children...

[Tatiana60]

06:05 Children don't make noise... they don't run to their father...
Karl II is also kind of thoughtful... it stands on the very edge of the nest and does not hurry to enter it...



Was there really something in Mom's hiss-talk that was worth thinking about?..

[Tatiana60]

06:30 06:30 The father did not feed the children, they are also not particularly upset... After asking for food and not getting it, they went about their business.


No. No. 1 and No. 3 tried to get on their feet and walk. No. 1 deserved the first place.
No. 1 even flapped his wings.
No. 3 also tried, but could not.
No. 2 was lying down...
But No. 1 began to clean himself just like an adult, bending his neck and pulling out his tail.

Everyone is calm.

[Tatiana60]

No. 1 flaps its wings..Look at his powerful wings and knees...

[Tatiana60]

07:06 breakfest. Backpacks are filled to the brim...





07:09 he is cleaning the nest.
07:26 flying away.
Obedient, well-fed children lie down in the center of the nest and sleep


Мне нужно бежать...

[Swenja]

As the sun shines at the nest, the chicks are grateful for the moss. They lie on it.



08:23 Karl II is back.

[Swenja]

#1 stands up and ps without going to the edge of the nest.

[Swenja]

During the night the chicks pushed the egg to the edge of the nest while they were sleeping.
In the morning Kaia moved the egg a bit towards the middle of the nest.
#2 then pushed the egg back to the edge with his foot and wing.

[Swenja]

#3 uses the egg as a pillow.

[Swenja]

09:51 Kaia is back.
She talks a lot.





09:53 Karl II flies away from the curved branch.

Kaia also goes onto the curved branch and stands still.

[Swenja]

The chicks call for refreshment. Kaia gives them shade.



Shade is not enough.

Kaia wants to offer food, but that's not the right thing either.
#3 eats something.



Kaia was able to calm the chicks down.

[Swenja]

11:29 Karl II is back. He brings moss. Kaia talks.
Doesn't Kaia want to fly away?





11:32 Karl II touches Kaia. She does not fly away and talks.

[Swenja]

Here they are together!
11:39 Kaia flies away. Get her moss?





11:43 Kaia brings moss. Karl II flies away.

[Swenja]

11:55/56 #2 wears a brooch made of moss.



#3 takes off the moss brooch and respectfully places the moss in the nest.

[Swenja]

It's strong wind today.



12:34 Karl II is back with moss, grass and a twig.
Kaia talks al lot with Karl II.

[Swenja]

12:42 Kaia flies away to the right.
