17.42.06 they start twittering - only for a very, very short while :?

Image

Image

but it looks someone (black stork?) is nearby - they all turns to the left (at 17.42.14), only K2-V to the right (17.42.31 - storklet stand up)

it seems more likely they are frozen :?
Image

before this "action" K2-V jumped very high on the nest edge (the branches are the best trampoline)

Oh, Kaia was feeding the chicks. But that's a surprise :D . But at that moment he has to cut the stream. But we can assume that the chicks had a bunch of frogs :mrgreen:

Finally a feeding from Kaia. She is excellent!

Look, the rain has almost washed the curved branch clean :D

Marika, thanks for the insight on the maiden flight ;)

I don't know - I saw nothing again, but on rainy days earthworms are big probability
