I have a busy day, I'm leaving tomorrow for a longer time - I can't watch streaming all the time.
Only if I observe and record myself do we have data on life on the nest at this time. This is a daily service and for one person time-consuming. We need more active members.

[marika.solo]

- 13.15.19 - 3/ mating errata - I scrolled back again

- 13.19.04 both are calling (they drive away someone unwelcome from near the nest), our storks calmed down at 13.20.09, Natalio settled down again
- 13.42.40 the same behaviour, 13.43.16 N. again settled down

- 14.14.00 - 4/ mating
I hope by scrolling/rewind I recorded them all.

- not all matings are successful - some "cloacal kisses" are missed
- I feel like Zica isn't hormonally tuned yet, she is not in good condition (she is pooping not enough). We will see. (season 2024: first egg arrived on night 16./17.03)
