Hello everyone

everything is going smoothly on this nest, the only worry is this news shared by our Madli - thank you!

"There are some concerns about Kerli and Kergu. They both go feeding very near the wind turbines, especially Kerli. That's dangerous! "

Kerli is on the nest for night

Hello everyone

The incubation period went without any undesirable situations (at night we often saw only one stork on the nest)
Now the PIP watch and the hatching is already very close.

EGGS laying (before or after midnight)
- 1st egg: 20./21.04 (30 days old), 2nd: 22./23.04 (28d ), 3rd: 24./25.04 (26d ), 4th: 26./27.04 (24d)
hatch:
- 1st chick: theoretically on 23.05 (32 days after laying)

- hatching: after 30 - 38 days depending on the conditions
- baby bird chirps from inside the egg usually on the last 2 days
- info to PIP watch and hatching (+ videos): https://www.ciconianigra.sk/viewtopic.p ... 474#p44474

- storks know when it is time to hatch and bring fresh material to the nest (especially soft material - moss, straw)
- today Kergu repeatedly flew in and out with new material
- I can't hear the egg talking

[marika.solo]

- it is enough windy
- the wind is so loud in the microphone that I don't know if we'll hear the egg talking
