Karula National Park (Karl II and Kaia)

[Madli]

you're welcome. We complement each other well - if you can, I can't and vice versa.

Let's hope so- so we can't take a day off at the same time
Right now it's the summer vacation time for my family and we try to take advantage of moving more outside and visiting different places.
We also have a trip planned to the zoo on Monday or Tuesday- not sure yet, depends on the weather. So be prepared for that

Anyway- good night for now.
Hopefully Kaia will be here very early tomorrow and we will have a worry-free day for once!

09.45 Karl arrives so silently that the chicks didn't react at all and continued sleeping. Only when Karl landed in the nest, they all started begging immediately. There was no defending from Bonus. Karl feeds the chicks (1) with a lot of fish and frogs. Everyone got a good meal!
Karl left after the feeding. NB! This was the first meal the chicks had since 16.49 yesterday ( feeding by Karl)
