[Liz01]

We wait patiently

[Anne7]

We wait patiently

As always.

Another feeding
18:05:23 Look at these 1-day old chicks!


18:06:14 This time, the chick in the middle is really in a bad position.


18:06:21 It realised that it was hopeless to try to turn around, and decided to sleep.

[Summi]

When Karl II comes home, and gives it a thorough roll, the chick is out.

No problem, out right away.

[Anne7]

Again, Kati seems to be annoyed by something under her belly.
She gets up several times. I think something is itching or biting

19:22:18 She preens her chicks rather nervously.
Is she looking for parasites?


19:22:44


19:23:26

[Anne7]

19:43 Karl II comes home

19:46:24 Feeding. One chick didn't participate. Not hungry?

[visit]

are that all lampreys ? or leechs, too ?

Can you see it better ?
What do you think ?

[Anne7]

Can you see it better ?
What do you think ?

I'm sorry, visit, I do not see it better.
But I think I saw both.

19:50 Karl II is rolling 1 egg and 3 chicks.

The poor chick is upside down. Its head is under the egg.

[Anne7]

20:06 Another rough preening-session.


20:24 Again.

20:32 Again

20:44:58 Karl II, please!


20:46:02 Is the hole in the egg bigger?


21:14 Again

21:37 Again. Egg #4 didn't hatch, so far.

Good night, everyone

[Hellem]

21:53 Karl II is preening the storklets again
21:55 He rolled the egg and sat down

22:04 He is preening again
22:06 He covered the storklets and the egg

[sova]

Good evening

Thank you very much for the nice pictures, videos, comments.
I think we will always recognize Karl II well. He never forgets his hoof swing.
just great



Good night

Karl keeps getting bumped from underneath - it makes his whole body jump. I guess the little guys might be hungry or something. He gets up, rolls the remaining egg, preens his young vigorously, then lays back down.

18. May

good Morning


04:27
Karl II works (nibbles, cleans the little ones)


05:15
Gets up again (he tries to choke, nothing comes out)

Then something comes out (little)
A little one looks the wrong way. I do not know what you and how much you ate. Karl took something back in his beak

[sova]

06:31
Kati comes with some grass, Karl II gets up and flies away
Kati feeds, first a fish came out and then black mass (?)
The first two ate something the third had a bad position

[sova]

06:36
she covers them again

Karl II wears moss and grass again

[sova]

[sova]

[sova]

07:42
feed
the third has problems with something too big fish
I think they all ate something

[sova]

08:16
Feeding .... all have something taken

[HelenL44]

I can see the broken egg as Karl is newly arrived and poking around!

[Hyacinth]

9:28 The 4th chick is out of its shell!

9:30 the parent (I can never tell which is which) moves the shell to the side of the nest.
