10.49 - False alarm - the chicks were chirping, but no one flew.


11.00 -over again


11.09 - over again

21.31 The storklets react to a danger! They observe a movement from left to right, past the nest. The chicks are growling and clattering. ...

it could be e.g. marten but also a mouse (but they also react this way to a squirrel - they are really very vigilant)

video and screenshots did not give me the answer what disturbed them

[Madli]

I also didn't recognize any sounds or movement that could be actually dangerous. I did notice that they followed the movement quite fast- it could've been a bird flying past. But probably nothing serious.

It's good that the storklets react fast and don't trust everything around them. It only comes good for them!

11.21 The chicks observe something again.

[Madli]

11.41 Something really caught their attention this time.
