2 MATING

more deliveries

Zica out 07:53:01
Natalio definitely out 07:58:06





the good distinguishing little feather is not good visible any-more

[marika.solo]

- 10:42:33 both arrives to the nest (Natalio first)

continuation

- 10:42:26 N. settles


- 10:43:57 N. up, preening, Z . too
- 10:47:03 MATING, very bad position - failed

[marika.solo]

- both resting in sunshine
- Natalio preening, 10:52: 13 N. settles again - Zica preens him

continuation
- 11:05:10 mating attempt, Zica "no"
- 11:05:25 N. settles, Zica is observing him for a while and starts preening herself

- 11:07:56 N. up, after while he is preening too



allo preening:

[marika.solo]

- both preening, as always Natalio longer

- 11:31:51 Natalio down, Zica preens him
- 11:36:00 Natalio up



- 11:36:19 MATING - clearly no "cloacal kiss" (again), N. is too much to the side



preening, resting

- 11:42:04 Natalio settles
- it seems Zica is hesitating what to do, than (very) shortly preens him
- 11:47:49 N. up

it is windy, but on the nest it seems to be warm (open bill - N.)

[marika.solo]

- 12:02:57 Zica away

continuation

- N. rearranging the rim, moving here and there the nest material
- observing the area - guarding the nest

- at 12:23:30 handsome Natalio out too

[marika.solo]

- 13:40:03 Natalio is back, he lands calling, fanned tail feathers

continuation

- it seems to me not like defending behaviour - is he calling for Zica? (other female is nearby?)
- no body arrives, 13:41:10 N. calmed down and is guarding the nest

[marika.solo]

- nest maintenance follows

- N. is observing the area carefully
- 15:10:38 N. starts calling, fanned tail (shortly)
- 15:11:28 he is calling for female, 15:12:18 again (female stork must be somewhere around)
- N. is observing the area with big attention



- 15:14:28 Natalio decided to flying out

[marika.solo]

- 19:34:21 Natalio arrives calling / greetings his nest

continuation
