Hello everyone

silent arrival - female
she is observing the surrounding again and again and is moving the nest material





resting - waiting

[marika.solo]

the same stork started whistling at 09.05.46 for a short while (fanned tail feathers) and is moving the nest material (is some one nearby?)
it is male stork? (I need to review the photos from the previous days)



continuation:
09.10.04 again the same behaviour and again only few sec (approx. 20 sec)
09.12.28 again

stork looked around again


and at 09.14.38 enough suddenly stork flies out

[marika.solo]

12.50 stork arrived again - singing, very loudly





and here she is

[marika.solo]

- in my opinion it is new female on this nest
- her behavior seems insecure to me (what to do? stay?) and finally she flies away
- male repeatedly (3x) calls loudly, fanned tail feathers, flies in and out, but the female does not come, finally he also flies away
