Karula National Park (Karl II and Kaia)

I was wrong!

21.56 Karl comes back for the second time! This time he also goes to the curved branch first, but Kaia steps away from the eggs, giving the signal that she is done! Kaia jumps to her balcony. Karl continues with egg duty.
Kaia's incubation shift was 7 h 47 min.


21.58 Karl II continues incubation.
21.58 Kaia flew away.
