18:47 – A stork flies closely past the nest and goes behind the cliff. The chicks sense the parent's nearby presence and begin calling out.
- 18:50 – An alien (unfamiliar) black stork is spotted flying near the nest.

CHICKS
- 1st chick: 36 days old,
- 2nd chick: 35 days old,
- 3rd chick: 33 days old
Egg 4: Laid 07 April - unhatched
Stork chicks grow exponentially. 90 days in the nest is like 18-21 years for humans. This means that 1 day in the nest is like almost 3 months for a human child. That is why their transformation is so amazing and fast.

youtube chat info - thx to everyone, especially to @Светлана-ни and @паніСвітланаК
English translation only from now on – assisted by Gemini
08:07 – Natalio, feeding
12:01 – Zica, feeding
12:12 – Natalio, feeding
12:15 – Natalio, water - 12:21 – Natalio, water - 12:26 – Water again
Observations and comments from today:
- I wonder which brood this is for Natalio. He doesn't seem to know how to give water to the chicks, splashing it all over the place. Mind you... even if he didn't give them a drink, at least he gave them a bath.
---
in my opinion Natalio as an experienced parent, he knows that in that heat, it is far more important to cool the storklets down and hydrate their skin rather than just giving them a drink direct in their bill
continuation:
12:21 – Natalio, water.
12:26 – Water again.
[Comment] – Natalio spills water everywhere, but at least he gave them a shower if not a drink. Other users note that males are often clumsy but very caring, and that Zica rarely brings water.
[Comment] – The chicks are molting right now, and wet down falls off worse than dry down.
12:59:28 – Natalio in a defensive posture (an intruder/stranger stork is likely nearby).
13:02:41 – [Timestamp confirming the intruder situation].
14:00 – Feeding by Natalio.
[Comment] – Discussion about a sad event in a Latvian nest where a female black stork ate a chick today ("that's nature").
15:04 – Feeding by Zica.
[Comment from Spanish viewer] – It is hard for the chicks right now; even though there is plenty of water around, the parents bring it only in small drops.
16:37 – Feeding by Natalio.
17:44 – Feeding by Zica.
[Comment] – The chicks were clearly begging for water today. Viewers note that black storks seem harsher towards their chicks compared to white storks.
18:43 – Feeding by Natalio.

Re: Tajo Internacional (Natalio/M and Zica/F)
- 12:55:51 Natalio in – he is calling until 12:56:02 (fanned tail, bill down)
- 12:59 exemplary defensive posture
- 12:56 Natalio is carefully observing the surroundings (chicks are chirping as always); he is also looking down towards the quarry
- Maybe there is the strange female nearby again (Natalio's behaviour suggests this)
- 13:02:41 again the defensive posture
- 13:05:03 Natalio out again
