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!

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

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.
