08.48 Proud papa with his 2 eggs 
Taking a little self-care preening break.
10.47 Kaia comes home.
A little stretch by Karl..
10.50 Kaia goes to her new hiding branch She returns 9 minutes later and Karl tries to make an approach, but his efforts are all in vain, because Kaia quickly finds her way onto the curved branch.

11.03 Mating (2) I didn't see clearly, but I believe it was successful.
11.11 Karl leaves. He brings some nest material for a few turns.
11.12 Kaia's turn to incubate.
12.36 Kaia sees something. She pulls her head back and looks up in the sky. She is on alert, looking around.

Re: Karl II and Kaia (Karula NP)
Kaia definitely sees a stranger circling above the nest several times. You can see shadows moving in the forest.
12.41 A stranger lands in the nest! Kaia is silent, she is not aggressive. That gives the reason to assume that the stranger is a male!
This is the strange unringed stork. His wing feathers are still brownish. He could be a young stork who just reached breeding age and now comes back to look for a first mate and nest. Or he could be an adult with just bleached feathers...hard to say.
The stranger spends about 4 minutes in the nest. He moves very carefully. Kaia is very alert all the time.
