Tawny owl        Kodukakk          Strix aluco

The guess yesterday evening about a third owl chick on the verge of being hatched turned out to be true .

At a quarter to nine Klaara went on her evening flight. In the nest hollow three owl chicks tumbled around who had hatched on April 18th, 19th and 20th.

There is enough work for the parent owls, particularly of course for Klaus in order to keep the family fed.

Just past nine o’clock it was evident what had happened in the owl nest

When Klaara was out for a quarter of an hour to stretch her wings we could see the nest interior – yesterday Klaara did not leave the nest.

We also see male Klaus

In the video we can hear the voices of the adults, how male Klaus lets Klaara know that she might come to have an evening meal. After some time he himself comes to the nest with a rodent which he offers to Klaara  but then decides to check in the nest hollow whether the hatching of the owl chicks is in progress  since Klaara did not leave the nest on being called. …

Black stork         Must-toonekurg       Ciconia nigra

 

Female Kati has laid eggs with clockwork  regularity and we have been able to greet all the eggs in the morning dusk: on April 12th, 14th, 16th and 18th.

In the nice calm full-moon-time nest forest there were minus degrees in the night but spring proceeds and after noon there may be more than 15 degrees of warmth.

The third egg is a fact

 

Black stork      Must-toonekurg      Ciconia nigra

 

Three  nice eggs in the nest and a proud stork pair. The eggs came every second day, or on April 12th, 14th and 16th in the morning twilight.

This night too there were minus degrees in the nest forest as it has been since the beginning of the egg-laying, but the weather is turning more spring-like.
