11.30 The chicks start to twitter. Kaia is taking the feeding position.
11.30 FEEDING (4) A small piece of food. Kaia immediately eats back a bigger piece ( a lamprey?). The older chicks very quickly grab sonething. #3 also gets something small. The feeding was over with 5 seconds. That's what I call fast food

12.02 The chicks stert to bite Kaia's bill and they are twittering. Kaia gets the signal to regurgitate.
Kaia attempts regurgitation. There are water drops coming form fet mouth. I think she wants to give a drink for the chicks? She makes a few attempts, but there's nothing more left.
13.00 Kaia stretches herself I think that's always beautiful to see.

14.22 Karl looks up to the sky, but he doesn't pay much attention to it.
15.04 Now Karl sees someone. A strange stork is nearby, Karl whistles.
The stranger must be flying above the nest

Re: Karl II and Kaia (Karula NP)
15.12 Karl is more relaxed now, occasionally preening the chicks, but still carefully looks around.
The wings have gained lenght significantly in the past few days.

17.31 KAIA arrives home. After a short greeting, Karl immediately leaves.
Karl's nest duty was 4 h 3 min.
17.35 FEEDING (6) Kaia regurgitates a small amount of frogs, after that comes a big pile of already soft frogs or fish..not easy to tell. Kaia regurgitates something small even a third time. All chicks eat well. And they are very dirty afterwards!
