Black Stork Nest in Karula 2022

[Swenja]

Bonus is good at scratching his toes under his beak.



#3 finds it unsafe to stand on one leg only.

[Swenja]

#3 gets dizzy while preening.

Good morning dear stork friends

I often feel the same way

Have a really great Friday everyone

Liz wrote in the YT chat that she saw a great spotted woodpecker on the left side at 8:14:29 and heard it call. i can't see any other bird there then or a minute earlier or later. i must be blind...

8:13 there were voices of tits around the nest.
8:13:39 (about) a bird flew above the camera (there was the sound of wings) and the storklets looked at it.
8:14 Kaia brought food.

[ame]

8:25 a cuckoo male and a female called nearby.


after that a male cuckoo sang a long time nearby.

10:01 Liz reported a feeding by Kaia.


(please make videos... i need to do other things... )

10:03:08 the stream froze.

Good morning everyone
Swenja, ame, Balistar, Sabsy

10:01:00 Kaia is almost there. Very special dramaturgical light.

Feeding. Was this fish? Hmm...


Kaia flies out at 10:01:30

After the feeding

The storklets watch Kaia fly away

11:32 Karl came, only a minute later. he had a big load of easy food this time.

[Swenja]

Hello everyone!

11:32 Karl Ii is here.
That was a quick feed.



Looks like fish.



I don't know what Karl II brought. But when he flew away the chicks were still feeding.

No problem at all, Balistar!
I was slow, as usual...
Thank you very much for helping and for your pictures!
The more the better!

Bonus can also scratch himself with the other side while standing. He stands safe.



#1 is still practicing scratching. It's still very shaky.



Thanks for the beautiful pictures @balistar and @Anne7.
It seems that Karl II accepts the support of the fish basket well. In the basket is not always fish but as a good supplement.

In the case of Kaia, it is not possible to see exactly what she brought. But Kaia is also coming to feed her very often at the moment.
It's not hot and the critters don't retreat to the cool corners. So Kaia will certainly be successful in frog hunting and not just get fish out of the basket.

Happy Bonus


Happy #1 (?)



Swenja, thank you too for all your beautiful pictures.

[Anne7]

Happy #2 (?)


And our very cute #3 watches over the three very sleepy big ones.


I have to go
