The night had a bit of a surprise for us
00.49 Kaia laid her 3rd egg! What an unusual time...The egg was first seen at 01.08.
Honestly, I did not expect an egg at this point..but there it is! Kaia is a very special girl!

Re: Karl II and Kaia (Karula NP)
11.30 Karl arrives.
Immediately there is some danger! Nest defending! Karl starts whistling, Kaia is clapping her bill.
11.32 The danger got more serious. Kaia escaped!
Could there be a bird of prey? A WTE or some hawk? The storks signal a very serious alert
11.35 The situation calmed. Karl continued incubating.
11.37 Kaia also returned to the nest.

Re: Karl II and Kaia (Karula NP)
The night passed calmly, without any incidents. Only Karl incubated the eggs. (I guess the standard "rules" - the female exclusively broods at night- doesn't apply to this nest )
04.47 Kaia took over the incubation..for a short period.
05.25 Kaia already leaves.
07.17 Kaia is back. Karl has a nice stretch. Karl tries to make an approach for mating, Kaia is not interested.
07.20 Karl flies out and starts to bring some nest materials.
