Black Stork Nest in Karula 2022

[Michi]

I don’t remember it very well, but you may be right, Michi!
I don't know it by heart.
Karl II arrived around the 10th or the 11th, I think.
And Kaia the day after his arrival?
Well, it’s not very important at the moment.

I've just found the video from Kaias arrival last year. It was on April 12!
The first page of last years topic told me, that Karl II had returned on April 11. So only one day earlier.

[Anne7]

Thanks, Michi!


Yes, Karl II is quite early this year.
In 2021 Uncle Eedi was on this nest before Karl II arrived.
Now Eedi is still in Belarus. I suppose that the weather hasn’t been very good.

Hello @Michi nice to read you!

@Anne7

I think I won't sleep this season. Nice to read you too!
I'm so glad Karl II has arrived and maybe we'll see Kaia tomorrow.

Good night!

[Jo UK]

Is anyone watching, listening, as this time of night? We have to get used to night vision!
I hear sounds which could be fox? Arguing puppies? Geese? (unlikely) From about 22.57, the last 30 seconds, perhaps.

Hi Liz.
Read again! It reads Previously Karl and Kati but now it is Karl II and Kaia.

[Liz01]

Sorry Jo! early morning mistake !

[Jo UK]

Sorry Jo! early morning mistake !

You are welcome, Liz.
I have lots of those early morning things at any time of day.
In fact you are right to draw it to my attention. The formatting (colour, size, etc) gives the wrong impression so I will change it - later!
