next care of the eggs and the nests bowl (still male Natalio is incubating):
+ 16.04 +
16.34 female Zica arrived with one bough
Zica? - this stork has darker bill so must be Natalio, when they changed?
rewind doesn't work smoothly, I can't check if there really was a change before
Zica out, Natalio is incubating now

09.24 CHANGE - Natalio in, female Zica out
for a longer time she tried to throw out pellet, finally she succeeded and flew away
(pellets are the undigested parts of a bird's food, which are regurgitated - coughed up through the bill)

Egyptian goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca)
- Because of its aggressiveness towards other birds, it may reduce or displace native species, and since 2017 the Egyptian goose has been listed as an invasive species in the European Union. This implies that this species cannot be imported, bred, transported, commercialized, used, exchanged or intentionally released into the environment and member states are obliged to try to eradicate the species.
- Both sexes are aggressively territorial towards their own species when breeding and frequently pursue intruders into the air, attacking them in aerial "dogfights". Egyptian geese have been observed attacking aerial objects such as drones that enter their habitat as well. Neighbouring pairs may even kill another's offspring for their own offsprings' survival, as well as for more resources (wiki)

Re: SPAIN - Tajo
how much the colour of the feathers depends on the light conditions (Dr. Māris Strazds says their feathers are not black)
