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?

Hello, everyone

Sova, thank you very much!

Another delivery
09:45 Karl II comes in with grass


09:48 He leaves


10:23 The eggs are hardly visible.

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 It will rain till tomorrow.

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

16:35:39 Up again.


16:35:42


16:35:39 Again a quick egg turn, and back on the eggs.

16:40 Up again and turning the eggs


16:40:41 Poor Kati.


16:40:51 A PS and back on the eggs.


Kati breathes heavily.

18:25 A break for Kati. Karl II comes to the nest. Kati is totally soaked
It was a short greeting




She left the nest

18:13:20 Another PS


18:13:22 Wing beating


18:13:32 And the soaked Kati is back on her eggs.

18:24:30 Karl II comes home


18:24:37 Kati leaves. She looks miserable.


18:24:41 Hello, beauty!

19:30 It is still raining, but not very hard.
Karl II is doing some housework.

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.
