Zica took care of the chicks and the nest hole, I didn't notice the feeding at the rewind (and nobody mentioned it in the chat) and than covered the chicks again at 07.26.42-43

[marika.solo]

CHANGE Natalio at 08.26.48 in - Zica immediately out (08.27.00)

[marika.solo]

1/ FEEDING - Natalio - 08.28.49 - big amount of food - good feeding for all

[marika.solo]

08.22.35 Natalio covered the chicks

08.52 up - nest aeration, rolling the eggs, pooping; 08.55.09 down

[marika.solo]

09.26.20 again up, pooping on the nest rim, scratching the neck, digging the nest bow, selfpreening and so on;



I already had doubts last night who is on the nest, and now I am more and more convinced that I very likely didn't see one change. Vida did a great reporting. As Vida has stated repeatedly, the lighting conditions make identification difficult (I haven't studied the eye difference). Also the behaviour of the stork is more in accordance with Zika

is this Zica?

shadowing and again she is roughly preening her plumage



both storklets are preening itself (adult stork is aerating)


next preening, shadowing and storklets wake up
