Good night, I see not everyone is asleep...
I am so proud of Baby Iks (72 days!!! and he flew) and today is a training day. And he is not only my favorite, his brothers clearly love him.

And I am very proud of Urmas - he never ceases to amaze me with his love for his work, for the animal world. Health to you, Urmas!... I am happy that I can observe how the work with black storks develops and becomes more complicated. It's a pity that not everyone has transmitters, but the strongest ones have been chosen and this is, of course, correct. May they be lucky! ...

So we waited for the wonderful days of the first flights. The chicks have a lot of impressions and we have...

Today Voog did not want to sleep in any way and made sure that everyone woke up. First, the Bonus woke up, flapped its wings, immediately after it - Waba.

21:32 synchronously, they dropped the excess...


All the older ones went to inspect the edge of the nest and only the younger Ics did not get up and continued to lie in the center of the nest, but he also sat first, then got up, made a PS, went, looked at what the brothers were looking at on the edge of the nest... Along the way, Iks played with a Bonus. He jumped, flapped his wings and stayed on the left edge of the nest...

But Voog calmed down, took the heron pose and fell asleep on one leg. Gradually, all the chicks began to go to bed: Ics together with Waba in the middle of the nest, after a while they were joined by a Bonus.

Voog remained at his post, he stands like a sentry... Only at 22.50 he sat down next to the brothers and dozes sitting, does not lie down...
