I moved the original post here from above

reporting to 8h reserved - done

- 07.16: F woke up, fluffed the moss and collected it to the body, aerated (still sitting)
- 07.17 F stand up
- female is pooping, aerating, observing the chicks, they are twittering and nibbles the moss (and one siblings little wings)
- she cleans the little and the nest bowl (they encourage excretion with their bills and discard it - they "tickle" the little stork's ass)
- 07.21 the 2nd FEEDING starts
- 07.21 feeding, lampreys (3 ate), 07.23 the next pile (2 ate)
- cleaning the table, short aerating within storklets (no good view on the remaining eggs)
- 07.25 F again covered the chicks
- 07.56 chicks are twittering (still under female)

FEEDING 07.21.11 lampreys (maybe), before they pick moss

one (behind the trio) without food this time
Image

when storklet managed to go to the table, there was no more food
Image

female again regurgitated some food, the two to the left ate only (07.23)

- I recognised the hatchling out from egg shell first time at 10.56.23 (M stand up), it moves very near her right foot (before that time I am no sure what I see :mrgreen: )
- every now and then, the light-conditions on this nest makes it very difficult to see anything clearly

next two shots with the hatchling (very bad light conditions)

the life on the nest changes some times very quickly :mrgreen:

MALE is on the nest from 10.37

the change:
1/ M arrives (10.37.35) - 2/ F short communication: F says him about news (who know, maybe :-) - 3/ F out (10.37.46)
