MADLI, the stork has listened to you

stork is back always with next twig - he moves a few twigs, rests and flies away again (the source will be somewhere nearby)

07.01 out - 07.04 in
07.07 out - 07.09 in
07.10 out - 07.12 in
07.13 out - 07.18 in

both at home


07.22 one of them out - 07.25 in (both are working with the twigs)

[Madli]

Yes, my question is answered.

Thank you mr. Stork

Hi Madli,
if you want to see better, enlarge the screen on your computer (for me it's 170%) - my solution

[marika.solo]

07.38 out (very probably the female stayed on the nest) - 07.40 in
07.43 one of them out - 07.46 back (male - delivery)

preening


working together


colourful in morning sunshine

[marika.solo]

07.55 out - 07.56 in with bigger twig
08.01 out (she is preening herself) - 08.15 in (longer branched twig)





delivering this branched twig is not the best decision (in my opinion)

[marika.solo]

08.13 and next - both are resting, some tenderness (I haven't seen mating yet)
- again working with twigs
- preening
- resting, resting

it seems to me that the diameter of this place is not very large

the female is closer to us

after long resting now both again working


resting, enjoying the sun

09.43 out and back immediately, than working with twigs
09.44 out -

[marika.solo]

our female arranges the twigs

[marika.solo]

I missed something or I am wrong? it is our male

someone is flying nearby


our female is arriving?


no, no one came (we can see this behaviour even when a stranger is nearby - there is a certain difference)
