- ​​Kerli is smart, although this is her first time breeding.

​​and still close to the windfarm?
- ​​no, longer distances.
- ​​I wonder of she doesn't know this area very well and can't find any better feeding areas, or nearby areas are already out of food?

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 (33 days old), 2nd: 22./23.04 (31d ), 3rd: 24./25.04 (29d ), 4th: 26./27.04 (27d)
hatch:

- hatching: after 30 - 38 days depending on the conditions
- egg talk: 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

EVENTS
- the first chick hatched at 11.05.40 https://www.ciconianigra.sk/viewtopic.p ... 405#p46405

since 23.05 we hear egg talk and hole in one egg

[marika.solo]

- today there is delivery a lot of new nest material (mostly moss) - the visibility to the nest bowl is worse
- not only Kergu, also Kerli is active in deliveries

YT our Madli:
- ​​08.16 Kerli regurgitated food (good amount). But I still only hear egg talk.
- 08.24 Kergu brings moss and a twig
- 08.47 Kergu is incubating again
- and Kerli brings fresh material
- 09.06 Switch. Kerli in nest, Kergu out.
- there is now so much moss that eggs are invisible
- 09.10 Chirping! First chick is hatched?
- No, I think not yet.
- 09.15 big hole in egg visible

2 different voices already yesterday:
- "16.16 - 2 egg talk or one chirp + one egg talk?"
- "17.09 to me 2 different voices: one "hatchling" in progress + one egg talk?"
- "22.37 I have again impression one chirp/chick + one egg talk" )
