4/ FEEDING - Natalio - attempt to feed them: stork regurgitated something - all ate some pieces

[marika.solo]

[marika.solo]

15.11.55 again up


16.03.14 down


and little nap

[marika.solo]

CHANGE 16.24.36 Zica in - 16.24.59 Natalio out
nice greeting and very short communication





really Natalio? today I am very confused (I slept very little)

[marika.solo]

- aerating and at 16.38.35 stork covered the chicks

Natalio? bigger, darker black area on the bill (as Vida used to write on youtube chat - a lot depends on the light, often it is very difficult to determine who is on the nest)


18.59.47 up, pooping (not much), preening

first time I noticed preening the storklets

[marika.solo]

- after preening the storklets (all wake up and protested) self preening followed
- stork did not feed till now (it is unusual) - is stork on the nest waiting for the arrival of a mate?

[marika.solo]

5/ FEEDING - 17.30.29 -
- stork was successful on the next attempt - it was a little something, everyone just swallowed something once, if I observed well
- do such "feedings" count at all?

[marika.solo]

sleeping, chirping and so on; adult storks is aerating (and shortly stork preens the chicks for a very short while)



17.38.17 stork settled down and covered the chicks

[marika.solo]

- 18.02.36 up, storklets wake up, they are yawning, pooping and asking for food again and again



- the weather is windy

[marika.solo]

- 18.17 stork is near little storklets and next (attempt?) to feed them

6/ FEEDING
stork regurgitated very few, necks remained thin

and some kind of rest back


- nest restoration, aerating and at 18.41.45 stork covered the chicks
