Jõgeva County (Jan and Janika)

17.25 - Jan got up and the chicks lined up in a circle in anticipation of food , but got nothing :

17.58 - sometimes in the strong wind that blew, John disappeared from the camera image :

18.18 - Jan "winds" the chicks

18.45.24 - exchange - I have never seen such an exchange: the female arrived and Jan flew away at the same second, as if frightened by her :

... number 5 was in the back as he got to eat so the food was almost gone. In the end, it had two small bites: at 14.26.29 and at 14.26.41 ...

- it worries me
- is No5 already so much weakened?
- I scrolled back, little one doesn't beg for food
- the difference in size seems to me bigger ...
- if morning it will be rainy day, it can be with less food (probably) crucial for this storklet

btw. who is cold, he tries to get among the others (to the middle) - and the hungry is usually cold
