14.30 Karl settles himself on incubating duty
14.37 A Black stork flies by. I think it's the same stranger who is still lurking around.
YT chat (liznm): At this time bachelors fly around and annoy the nest owners.

14.27 Karl arrives. Before that, Kaia tried to hide again. No wonder she can't trust any approaching stork if it could easily be another stranger...

Re: Karl II and Kaia (Karula NP)
16.43 Karl notices something and reacts vocally. It could be the stranger again flying around...
17.39 Kaia comes back. Karl has a straight-forward plan
17.40 Mating (3)
17.42 Karl flies away.

Good night!
Kaia (or Karl) will probably sit on the eggs very soon.

Maybe she will return with the first light at dawn..it is egg laying time!
(1st egg- 24.04 at 04.32, 2nd egg- 26.04 at 06.34, 3rd egg- 28.04 ??)
