Black Stork Nest in Karula 2022

[Tatiana60]

...I think Kaia was serving frogs ???...

yes, there were frogs... She stood on the wing of one of the storks for quite a long time before taking off...

13.38.02 in front #1



Of the four in the nest, #1 has the spirit of a Dalai Lama, always calm and composed, but still all in full view and under control - and instantly ready to fight if need be.

[Tatiana60]

And at first I dreamed that a stork was looking at me for so long at 13:26...


.. but then he looked at the sky at 13:29:41 and I realized that someone was more interested in him than me and this someone was circling in the sky...


than all the stars at 13.30.34 saw a stranger and they certainly weren't up to me...

[Tatiana60]

They chose an interesting tactic - to snuggle as low as possible, but to shout as much as possible...
a particularly desperate one blew dust in the direction of the enemy and knocked with his beak...
Some were very scared... look at the Bonus's eyes...


but the joint cry gave the result and at 13:33:10. the enemy was very, very scared, well, or his nerves could not stand it...
the result of a nervous breakdown of the enemy on the right in the photo:


there is hardly anyone who can stand face to face in front of such a gang:

I had a page back, no more space

[Tatiana60]

14:45 now everyone has calmed down and the camera too...
broadcast interrupted...

[Liz01]

14:46 the stream is buffering

Hello all!

About Bonus1 and Bonus2(who is who) can tell dr. Madis when will check data in clinic, but he is on the field just now.

Picture from Eedis nest today.
"Camera did not catch a moment when adult feeds them, during these days, yet
because pictures are taken after every 10 minutes. "



"But for example, here we see the feeding has been recently before the picture was taken. "

13:50 Bonus is stretching his leg.. KK #3 storklet bite in Bonus leg .
this is not a game or bite anything that moves!
https://up.picr.de/43931468bs.jpg

he tugged on Bonus's leg! Bonus almost fell over. When the others stretch their legs, none of the storks bite
https://up.picr.de/43931470kj.jpg

shortly before #3 was stretching out his leg- none attempted to bite and pull

it wasn't #3, it was #1. #3 was standing on the right in the back with "X-legs", #2 on the left.
(i try to show with a following "picture-street" - while the stream is off)


Don't know why #1 did bite in Bonus' knee, ususally it's #2 who is the cheeky one
and i haven't had the impression that Bonus almost fell over, he surely didn't like it and walked away from #1.
I think it's just the curiosity of adolescents who need to investigate everything.

**** start of the "picture-street" 13.49.58 - 13.54.10 (sorry for disruption of chronology) ***
-1-

13.49.58 right-side stretch with leg lifter by #1


13.50.11 Bonus stood up and #1 does wingexercise (WE)


13.50.45 Bonus walks away from #1 after he pecked his knee

[balistar]

ff ..... (should be -3-)

13.52.47 the #1 does WE


13.53.02 out of the KK storklets the #1 has lost the most down feathers on head and on back


13.54.10 the #1 shows already the darkest neck, on the backneck and on the front (crop)



*** end of the "picture-street" ***


Thanks for your attention, please don't hestistate to correct me, if i'm wrong

[balistar]

ff ..... (should be -2-)
(oh, i just saw this post should have been posted between the first and the last, technic said something similar as "you can't post as quickly after your last post" )
maybe a moderator or administrator can put it in the right order ?

13.51.37 now Bonus walked to the backside nest edge


13.52.14 the #1 spreads his wings


13.52.34 the #2 on the left is preening, also Bonus in the back and #3 on the right sits down

[Liz01]

it wasn't #3, it was #1. #3 was standing on the right in the back with "X-legs", #2 on the left. ...

Thanks for the correction! I didn't have time to double check everything. I wanted to make a video, but then I got totally busy with another nest

[balistar]

yw

(now you know why i'm always so slow, i'm checking back and forth )

[Tatiana60]

hooray, the flow has gone

[Anne7]

.
Thank you so much, everyone, for all beautiful and interesting images and observations!

The transmission stopped at 14:46 and restarted at 17:14. Is that correct?
If Karl II sends data this evening, I can see if he has been on the nest during that interval, and let you know.

We will never know about Kaia though.

[Liz01]

what a big beak


what a cutie


17:48 great wing flapping by #1 BTW: in this group, #1 is the leader. we can see that well as the stranger was here! I bet #1 is a male

[Liz01]
