Hello everyone

Chicks will be today 20/20 days old
(hatching: 01.05, 01.05, 03.05 - perished 18 days old, 04.05 - died 5 days old: parental infanticide/brood reduction)

very sad news the youngest chick of the trio perished (most probably because hypothermia and scarce of food)
in Adriana's shots, the youngest chick was just passively sitting in the afternoon

little one here yesterday in the evening


most probably benjamin isn't more alive or it is the last minutes of our little storklet's life


my last yesterday shot

my today first view


and after refreshing

one of the very rare sightings - all three storks have full crops (19.05)


fingers crossed very much for the duo!

I won't be watching the nest this morning - I don't want to see what the adult will do with the dead chick (if tries to swallow it - they do it when there is a lack of food - it won't be a pretty sight)
