[Liz01]

6:56 Iks went on the curved branch. All are ready for breakfast

6:57 Bonus found a fish


6:58 Bonus is eating the fish

[Liz01]

7:01 Voog went on the curved branch. Two are preening themselves, Bonus investigates the nest edge ... looking for fish?

7:01 Voog flew away
7:03 Bonus out to the right!
7:12 Waba left the nest
7:24 Waba back
7:24 Voog back .. greetings
7:25:30 Bonus missed the nest.. he turned to the right and flew away




BTW: I do the leftover video right now! All have eaten fish

[Liz01]

7:36 Waba flew out
7:42 Bonus came home
7:42 Waba came in too

I don't think it's very important that they get breakfast right away. A day practicing flying skills wouldn't be bad

8:07 Voog flew out
8:07 Iks to the left
8:07 Iks landed below on the old nest

[Liz01]

8:11 they are begging
Voog came home

8:13 Iks flies
Voog went on the curved branch

8:21 Waba flies to the right
8:21 Voog to the right
8:22 Bonus flies to the right They explore their surroundings.
8:26 Iks returned, there are still a few downy feathers visible
8:27 Arrival Voog

The radius they explore doesn't seem particularly large yet
8:36 Voog is preening himself
Iks is sitting in the nest
8:36 Waba came home

[Liz01]

9:30 return of Bonus, he was away for more than one hour

9:41 they are begging

Good morning!

5.00
I happened to watch them at 5 o'clock this morning.
While everyone slept, our cuties were awake waiting for daylight. Bonus started looking for fish - and found some at the nest site. He ate two. Another step-sibling also found a fish. And while Bonus and the other sibling were fighting over fish #4, the third sibling just stole it.

(A german saying: "Wenn zwei sich streiten, freut sich der Dritte". "when two quarrel, the third rejoices.")

[Liz01]

9:43 I think Karl is still nearby

Francesca
I have done a video. That was funny to watch

Your description is worth reading!

[Francesca_V]

O great, thank you Liz!
I haven't seen it before.
Yes, it was so funny!

10:06 Karl

that was a "frog" breakfast!






Basically, I have no idea what was brought. It was found found by Karl. I'm assuming it was amphibian based on his neck.

[Liz01]

I'm trying a SLOMO video, maybe it will bring clarity

two frames the food is visibel.. I have no idea what it is (SLOMO speed 0,1)

Out of curiosity
Are there any reasons to explain the chicks regurgitating the fish they ate earlier (on 15 Aug)?

[Liz01]

11:57 Karl is here again. Fast food.. so not from the basket


it looks like fish. But it was not so much

They vomit when they are very stressed when humans or a bird of prey (white-tailed eagle, goshawk) come to the nest.

They also vomit if they have eaten too much. This has already been seen and documented in other nests. But they only do that when there is too much food. that's rather the exception

12:10 Iks flew to the right
12:11 Voog took off
12:14 Bonus leaves the nest
12:16 Waba is still here
12:20 flew away

[Liz01]

12:50 Iks is back It seems they increase the radius around the nest. Iks was away for 40 minutes




13:53 is still alone at home

[Liz01]

13:59 Karl comes home and "whoosh" all are here
I think, they have been waiting in the shadow


14:00:13 big fish! Bonus ate it

[Liz01]

Video - SLOMO shows, there was a lot of fish!

[Liz01]

Bonus.. long neck

every now and then I think that Bonus is a unusual big stork
