The female reminds me of a visitor from last year. Kaia was sitting on the eggs when the visitor landed in the nest.
I remember those light brown feathers.

Of course there are other black storks with light brown feathers.





Maybe someone has even better shots from 2022.

2022

I worry that Kaia might be too late this year

[Liz01]

I worry that Kaia might be too late this year

don't worry. Kaia will be here in time. Even if the two mate, Kaia will take over the nest again

[Francesca_V]

Yes, this may be possible.

[Francesca_V]

don't worry. Kaia will be here in time. Even if the two mate, Kaia will take over the nest again

And what will be with the other female after mating?

[Liz01]

And what will be with the other female after mating?

I've often asked myself that question. Will she lay eggs and if so where.. I don't know
EDIT: I really saw some together for a long time. It was very likely that she produced an egg.

you might be right, even though she's ringless. They tend to go where they've been before. It was the same with Karl II. When he first came, he was not welcome. Karl I was here

[Francesca_V]

Ah, OK ..
Well, we will see what happens here ...

[Swenja]

11:25 Camera off
The nest is empty. Karl II and the female fled.

Hello @Tatiana60
Nice to see you! I'm happy to read from you.

[asteria]

to all!

Can it be Kati?

[Liz01]

..Can it be Kati?

no, that is not Kati. Kati's eyes are different.

[Sabsy]

Hello everyone
Hello @Tatiana60

Many thanks for your reports, videos and pictures.

I really hope that Kaia will be on her way soon...
can't we ban the lady from the house without leg jewelry?

@Karl please wait for Kaia and don't keep looking at other young girls- tzzz

taken from my video . it looks like she has different eyes?

[Liz01]

I don't think we need to worry too much. she didn't seem particularly interested in Karl.

[fussel]

But Karl didn't seem particularly interested either. He simply sat down?
Life, especially the stork's life, writes the best detective stories, doesn't it?
Kaia, fly as fast as you can!
