- 10:53:58 Natalio starts calling, fanned tail feathers
- 10:54:05 Zica lands, nice greeting



- 11:00:33 MATING
- 11:07 N. after long preening pooping and working (now Z. preening), shortly again

-11:08:15 Natalio settled down, Z. preens him, 11:13:40 N. up
- N. preening, Z. resting
- 11:16:36 MATING
(not only jumping up, but also down from Zica's back after mating seems to be problematic to me)

- both preens, as usually Natalio much, much longer

[marika.solo]

- 11:28:25 Natalio works very, very shortly and at 11:28:44 down
- Zica preens him
- 11:31:35 N. up,
- 11:33:17 mating attempt, Zica "no"

- 11:33:38 N. down again, Zica preens him

[marika.solo]

the weather changed, it is cloudy and windy

- 11:43:58 Natalio up
- preening, observing the area
-
- 12:12:00 Natalio down again (is he already one older stork?), Zica preens him
- 12:21:22 N. up, next pooping and he moves some nest material (shortly), Z. preens herself
- 12:24:05 MATING

- both preens

- 12:40:28 N. notices someone unwanted in the area and starts calling, Zica too



- 12:42:00 both are silent, Natalio careful observers the area
- 12:44:48 the enemy is again near - both calling

- 12:45:41 N. settled down,
- 12:47:13 Zica pooping on the nest rim, Z. preens N.
-
- 12:48:46 N. up and the defending behaviour starts
