Every day starts and goes on the same- Grafs starts to work early, he brings new material. Flies in and out of the nest, calling, resting, waiting. So far he is still alone.

Until something relevant happens, I will only make a short comment about the day.

I still very much hope for a female's arrival to this nest and keep my fingers crossed!
I don't like to see an emty nest and a lonely stork every time I turn on the stream..

Hi Madli,
the right decision - we feel the same way
finger crossed very much - the time is running out
