There was no doubt that something very interesting was flying abowe the nest. There was the visitor to come in some few minutes. But that story is already told a pair posts before.

at about 13:40 it begun, the watching here and there, up and down and to right and to left. It went on for a couple of minutes.

- Don't you think that we will get a visitor, do you!




Let's see now...

[Olga]

My last picture folder begun with a pic where he was rolling eggs. At 17:41. I don't know where she was, at what time she had left.

I see that he took care all his duties, rolled eggs etc at 17:41, 18:33, 18:53, 19:00, and 19:41! And incubated, of cource. Last time before dark I saw he turned eggs when she arrived home at 20:11.

They are sleeping now, both on the nest.

Five egg rollings from at 17:41..

..to 19:41



And once more when she returned:

They changed shifts at 18:53. Very quickly.
Now, one is on the nest and the other on the platform

I hope not.

I hope not.

Hello!
I don't think so! They roll them and change their positions all the time! This morning they were in line ;))

He was standing on the nest for a long time and the eggs were in the sunshine from 11:20 to 10:18. Now he is sitting on eggs. I don't remember to have seen this before..

hm..

[katsik]

He was standing on the nest for a long time ...

one BS flew over a few times, maybe he is guarding
13:05 now he stand up again...

Edit: 14:05 he is still standing, its can be take affect to eggs?

[Olga]

It's 14:04. He was sitting for half on hour. Then he stood up at about 13:03. He has now been standing once again for one hour.

Now I saw the BS flying over! Some big bird anyway not an eagle, at 13:54.

He is still standing. Eggs are now in shadow. I have not seen that he has rolled them since 13:05.

edit: he settled himself sitting on eggs at 14:07!

[Olga]

She returned at 16:38 and he left soon after it.



She at 17:42

[Olga]

He returned at 20:11. Now he is standing on the edge of the cliff. He looks amazing,. i try to imagine if seeing those BSs in live life..it's magic.. It's only a dream for me...but who knows..

Of course I'm waiting for the Est. BSs too.. It is true that these birds have different personalities. But all Black storks are charming, to watch them enchants one.. be carefull!

[Olga]

Well..macdoum! yes .. But it makes no harm to Black storks.
There is no cure for enchantment, just to accept it and everything is allright!

Today, at 17:43 a third BS came again close to the nest. But he was suspecting that and was guarding and so the other BS flew away.

Another couple of BS was seen today flying in Portas de Ródão.

[Olga]

Good evening In the morning me too saw several 'big birds' flying over the cam view and the BSs' nest, and lot of other birds too. I had two cams open, I waited to see Klaara's first chick's hatching.. what a busy day!

So everything is well there in Portas de Ródão.

I saw one time when he left in the afternoon, she was then rolling eggs. The panorama ovet the river was also shown.. it's ingredible how beautiful it is there in Portas de Ródão..
