Keeps looking in the sky

Hello ,

14:33

such a beautiful boy

Keeps looking in the sky

He is looking for the Lady .

14:13 Karl is back at nest, but he comes alone. Again longingly calling.
I had the idea, that he could have met Kati outside the nest. But obviously it wasn't so.

Maybe there was some unwanted visitor in the area?
Or could it be that he was calling Kati?
I really hope she's okay and will show up soon, Karl already did such a great job and restored carefully their nest.

Karl checked, whether the nest is already comfortable enough to lay down for longer - few adjustments have to be made!

15:05 Karl is calling
15:12 Digging the nest bowl

15:36 Karl left the nest

Karl keeps calling and looking towards the sky.

We keep checking the nest, looking for Kati. We have as much longing for her return, as he has.

I think Kati is in the area I saw a greeting.
It is not uncommon, if she doesn't come immediately to the nest. They meet also outside the nest.
Today I had time. So I read in my book. All what happened is normal. Also the empty nest in Latvia. Everything can still happen ...
It is also not the usually that the male stork comes first. He comes often earlier than she, but it can also be that the female first comes, or both at the same time.
Either they come to the nest immediately, or they explore the surroundings for a few days.
A stork starts at once with the nest building, another makes it like Ozols this year. Work a bit and then fly away. In short, they do what they want. There is no fixed rule

Whatever ... I hope we'll see Kati soon

[Liz01]

I hear an WTE calling - again an WTE

BTW: I did not know, that Black Storks are able to attack eagles and chase they away

17:37 Karl arrives the nest with calling.


@Jo: Gives it no more a VLC-link for this cam?

I think, that the colours are more intensive in this year, very beautiful.

17:55 Karl is resting.

Good evening

20:45 - It´s getting dark. Karl´s white feathers are barely visible, but I can hear the sound of him preening.

[Jo UK]

Birdfiend - so sorry, but I was in the garden because the sun is shining. Thanks to lianaliesma for finding the information.

22:54 Suddenly Karl is calling in the dark
23:12 Is calling again

[Dogmami]

Poor Karl, he is so missing Kati - home is ready - wife missing - he sounds so sad in the dark
