Sova, thank you for the pics and comments. Great that Kati helps Karl II to bring hay. Or is it beacuse the day is coming closer?

10:53:24 That must be OFAF!

10:53:25 Don't step on the eggs, Kati...

10:53:27 I think OFAF flew to the old nest

11:53:40 Kati tries to chase him away. She attacks. "OFAF, I'll kill you!"

11:53:40 OFAF would rather not get a beating and moves to the left

11:53:41 "Go away, OFAF! Leave me alone!"

11:53:44 I think OFAF left

11:53:58 Kati is back on the eggs

All these unwanted visits make her adrenaline rise.
Maybe she will again chase Karl II from the nest when he comes home.
I have to go and will be back in the (late) afternoon.

10:54 In this case it was not another stork. Kati's reaction was completely different. And there was only the arrival of something small to hear. A another bird or a mammal (Squirrel ) ..
She does not want anyone in the and neither near the nest.

13:59 It rains. Good that nest material was brought.
14:54 strong rain

15:28:49 Kati gets up. She is soaked.

15:28:50 She shakes her head and neck.

15:28:58 She quickly turns the eggs and covers them

16:40 Up again and turning the eggs

16:40:41 Poor Kati.

Kati breathes heavily.

23:48 It is completely dark in Karula forest, but I hear that it is still raining. It's raining hard, I think.
Still 5 days to go
(or maybe 4)
Good night.
