Nest Activity Log
07:40 – Maiden flight: The youngest storklet (Chick #3) took off from the edge of the nest, marking the first fledge of the season from this nest. Its siblings stood up in surprise as it departed.
08:23:56 – A black stork (likely the fledged chick) was spotted flying in the upper corner of the camera view.
08:32 – The two remaining storklets began calling for their parents.
08:43:46 – A black stork was observed in flight near the nest.
08:44:14 – The fledged storklet returned and made a successful, skillful landing back onto the nest.
08:44:15 – Immediately upon the chick's return, the male, Natalio, arrived and regurgitated food for the chicks before quickly departing.
10:05 – The female, Zica, arrived at the nest and fed the chicks.
11:28:48 – Natalio arrived at the nest and fed the chicks.
13:54:53 – One of the storklets engaged in wing-flapping and jumping exercises.
14:34 – Natalio arrived and fed the chicks. This was likely accompanied by nest watering to keep them cool.
16:22 – Zica arrived and fed the chicks.
20:14 – 20:15 – The second storklet (Chick #2) stood on the edge of the nest, intensively practising wing-flapping and showing a strong desire to fledge.

The
observation of a paddle-boarder on the water raised concerns among observers regarding the safety of the nest.
