Hello everyone
today on the videos by our Maria Lewandowska (GT translation without corrections):

I. 2022.04.27 Notek zleciał do gniazda z pobliskiej gałęzi, gdzie spędził całą noc kiedy jeszcze było dość ciemno. Czy to znów kolejny dzień w oczekiwaniu na samicę: donoszenie budulca, śpiew...? /Notek flew into the nest from one nearby branch, where he spent the whole night when it was still quite dark. Is it another day waiting for a female: delivering building material, singing ...?

II. 2022.04.27 UFF... - gorący dzień: po raz pierwszy w gnieździe pojawiła się samiczka!!! / UFF ... - hot day: a female appeared in the nest for the first time !!!
https://youtu.be/VkanbFnnS6s

III. 2022.04.27 Pewnie lecieli razem..., ale ona tylko przeleciała nad gniazdem (14:25:38) siadając na pobliskiej gałęzi i... odleciała (słychać jej odlot 14:27:28), a tak się cieszył biedaczysko! / They must have flew together ... but she only flew over the nest (14:25:38), sitting on a nearby branch and ... flew away (you could hear her departure 14:27:28), and that was how the poor fellow was happy!

Notek has a female in the nest!!

I'm very happy for him! We will see if there will be a late brood and how will that turn out...

09.58 A female lands in the nest. She wears rings!

I observed many times the same situation like in Karula- Female tries to "mate" with the male by sitting on him while the male lies down.

Both storks did some courtship games, but did not mate.

11.02 Female flew away. Male follows.
