Latvian black storks - 2023- 2024

[Liz01]

...Here the egg on the right in front at 6.54, i think i saw the first little PIP on egg 4 (red dot).
The PIP on egg 3 was at that time already bigger. So, it could be that this one was the PIP on egg 4. ...

thank you, balistar

I will pay attention to it.

my fingers are crossed for you!

[Liz01]

there was another feeding ? half egg is decorated with moss


#3 is strong too

[fussel]

Sweet and so quick.

All the best for the little ones - and the big ones.
Mom is tirelessly busy making sure the sweeties have a nice nest!
The excellent bird concerts on this nest are always wonderful.

Many thanks to everyone who lets us share in this miracle.

Urga off right away!

BTW: Andra saw hole in both eggs too. She is a good observer.

[Liz01]

video and pics from the great feeding later

I have to go for a half hour

8:37 Dad is feeding his storklets


8:43 a little beak is peeking out of egg

I record everything. After breakfast I'm at the Baltic Sea for a few hours. I want to go to the renaturation area. Today the wind isn't that strong, so 60 km on a bike without a motor is no problem, but it takes time.

[balistar]

Good morning Liz and all

I can't contribute much, just this:

9.39.01 eggs 4 and 5 are still in the hatching process
