Wow! K3 got a good oportunity to practise and it was worth it! Nice jump

That's good that they are not standing all night today! Makes the job a bit safer for Urmas and the chicks.

Anyway, my plan for tonight is to make a long video of the event and my plan is to make a YT video with english subtitles tomorrow. So I'll try to translate as accurate as possible and see what I can do

Super Madli! So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you succeed and that the whole event goes well, and we hope that there will be no complications and that everything will turn out well .
I can continuously add photos to the forum.
