By the way, the streaming still doesn't run very smoothly. The video is lagging a bit..but it doesn't bother me. Hopefully it will get better soon

Here we can clearly see the difference in their plumage on their head. Fermina in foreground with a lighter head, Florentino in the backround with dark, black head.


Beautiful evening


Our pair is in the nest and ready for the night.


Good night

Hello.
I am at the computer quite late today and I can't see the very early morning from the playback.

06.35 The nest is emty- both storks have left probably to eat.
A roe deer is walking in the distance.

09.06 Florentino arrives. He has muddy feet again.


10.18 Florentino is calling for Fermina. She arrives.

[Madli]

10.19 Florentino lies down in the nest, Fermina climbs onto his back. We have already seen this kind of behavior in Karula, EE- female Kaia climbed on the male's back and imitated copulation..






10.20 Mating- the right way

[Madli]

10.58 AGAIN Fermina on top of Flo!




11.37 The same situation happens again. As soon as the male lies down, female climbs on top of male and imitates copulation movements.


Interesting reverse-roleplay

[Madli]

Both storks stand calmly in the nest, preening and spending time together.
