Karula National Park (Karl II and Kaia)

So we are witnessing an emty nest tonight. All the chicks sleep outside the nest for the first time (Voog 2nd time)
We must now tell ourselves that our stork children have all grown up and ready for the next stage of their lives. Every moment we see them through the camera can be that last...
