Thank you garina do mar for the pictures and summaries! I have been busy .. and nervous be cause of waiting for Donna.. It is so intersting, all what you have written. What you told:
And this "visitor" came several times without being chased
Strange isn't it?
..yes, it is most surprising! Maybe there is some natural explanation to this way of behaving.. but who knows what. Propably only the Black storks do, for the moment..

Isn't that a sight to see??
They put the camera on close up and Mum was turning the eggs!
The egg that Baby is laying over looks as though it is going to hatch next!!
Silly me - I think that is the shell she has just come out of!!!

The mother and her two cuties and one beautiful eggs
Tomorrow there will be three cuties!

When the mother stood up the chicklets too stood up at once, they tried hard, but to get the balance is an other thing.
You can see the tiny back and the tiniest tail ever seen of the other chick, and the eyes and beak of the other one.

The head is so heavy that other fell towards the mattres. How fragile their little bodies still are the stronger is their vitality..
The other one is seemingly bigger than the one day younger one, isn't it..
When the female Black stork sat down she begun to move moss closer and tighter, to hold the little ones and the egg warm, I think.
