Adriána, your documentation is as detailed as Madli's last year in this thread

I should say thank you too

I guess that everyone develops their own style and I'm happy to be an inspritation for Adriana

Hello

15.21 The wind is strong today. There is a sound of a branch breaking and falling.

15.35 Karl's next egg care break- aerating and rolling the eggs.

Very strong gusts of wind.

15.53 Oh My The wind gets so strong that it pushes Karl to stand up, he has difficulties with keeping balance






Despite the strong wind he manages to do the nescessary egg routine.

Karula- Strong wind puts Karl to the test.

There are still branches breaking and falling.

16.17 Karl aerates the nest and continues to incubate.
16.46 And the next break.
17.13 Next break.
It's starting to rain.

17.17 Kaia arrives. Karl doesn't greet her.




Karl steps away and Kaia takes over the egg duty.
17.19 Kaia covers the eggs. The rain isgetting heavier.

[Madli]

17.43 Kaia rolls the eggs.

17.46 Karl flies away.

18.17 Kaia makes a good PS and moves some hay around the eggs.




18.36 Karl arrives with some wet grass.
