123 km.
Battery level: 100%
Karl II spent the night in a tree at the edge of a forest, not far from where I suspect the fish basket is (not sure!). His working day started in that area at a little past 5 am.
Today, he visited twice the above mentioned place, about 9 km from the nest.
What can I say about that area? It is a meandering brooklet - partly on the edge of a forest and an agricultural area, partly in a forest - which at one point runs under a street/path, and further on flows into (or out of?) a lake.
He also visited a brook that connects two lakes, about 17 km from the nest. (It’s where he found all those little fish some time ago) In the same area, he also searched for food along a brook about 4.5 km away from that place (not far from another lake).
And finally I see him making a kind of (not very big) reconnaissance flight, with several short stops at different creeks and brooks.
Today the chicks are respectively 25, 25, and 22 days old and start developing the mohawk hairstyle.
Polly, many thanks for sharing the beautiful and interesting video, and for your kind words!
Swenja, great job, as always!
Karl II is a very patient BS father with nerves of steel and a heart of gold.
See you tomorrow!
