19:43 streching the wings

19:52 the sunset is marvelous




I still miss Zile & Ozols, but this nest and Gaja & Kaupo are also very nice and interesting.

20:22 Kaupo returned home

I saw no mating today

20:25 mating attempt.. the eggs or the nest.. there is something wrong. Maybe the nest one is too small? he almost stepped on the eggs and stopped the mating attempt.
It may also be that she did not want it?

[Liz01]

ok ....I stop the observation

April 18

Good Morning Solo and all

Solo, thank you for the appreciation of my work

I think, there will be a fourth egg. They mated enough all days before. It takes over 20 hours for an egg to have it's hard shell.

Second egg in the poland nest .. She laid it again 00:21

EDIT: Wrong time poland! Thank you Lea

23:17 she rises up and the other egg is there

[Liz01]

5:19 It is dawn, but there is still nothing to see. She lies on the eggs. One of them is on the parents branch.

5:20 is still sleeping. I think Kaupo is standing next to her

EDIT: 5:33 Kaupo is incubating the eggs .. the bright spot is good visible

It is a cold morning 5 degree and cloudy

[Liz01]

here it is

5:47 they showed us their beautiful four eggs

[Liz01]

5:47 Gaja flew away and returnedwith a twig at 6:27


6:41 Gaja is on the parent branch and is preening herself

6:44 after aerating the nest bowl, Kaupo is incubating now

[Liz01]

7:04 Gaja is in the nest. Kaupo is in front.


7:07 Kaupo is away.. the cam doesn't work proberly

[Solo]

Good morning Liz and all

... 5:47 they showed us their beautiful four eggs ...

I am not sure, if it is happy news or not

... It takes over 20 hours for an egg to have it's hard shell. ...

thank you for this info - it was long time question for me (I read only about the domestic fowl, but I was not sure if it is fact also for storks)
