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 (32 days old), 2nd: 22./23.04 (30d ), 3rd: 24./25.04 (28d ), 4th: 26./27.04 (26d)
hatch:
- 1st chick: theoretically today - 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

08.32 Kerli up - clear loud EGG TALK

[marika.solo]

11.20 egg care - only soft egg talk

12.09 again loud egg talk (I don't see an egg with a hole)

13.07 Kergu arrived after more then 27 hours absence (reason is most probably the rainy weather - they don't fly in the rain and we don't know how far Kergu was from the nest)

I think there are still four eggs, but probably not for long

15.00 egg talk and big progress

I wish I could see the egg shell on the nest rim (let me know that these words are not just my wishes )

[marika.solo]

17.09 I ma really confused
