answer to my question to brood reduction (nest in Karula: Kati + Karl I) in 2017

BS expert - Mr. Kalocsa Béla, Hungary (from his email answer - GT translation):

We've been filming the black storks for more than ten years. By now I am quite sure that the selection and reduction of the number of nestlings is quite common in black storks nests.
