09.34 Karl II is here, but he dont feed - in my opinion he is waiting on 73

continuation

09.39 storklet is safely back (and Karl II out)
09.44 Karl is back and feeding

73 has hanging wings - storklet is too tired probably

At 5.31 they became active, 7193 went to the branch


5.38 - 7192 went to the branch

7192 and 7193 often alternated on the branch, going up and down from it
