Hi Adriana! Thanks for posting. You are wonderful!

There's nothing to worry about if Janika is missing for the night. She will return on the morning and the eggs are safe with our super dad Jan !!

Good night.

Thank you very much for the recognition Madli! I have a good role model, you are a good teacher! I thank you!

April 29

Hello everybody

It's 8.50 in the morning and Janika still hasn't returned. Jan heats the eggs:


Janika, come home, Jan is waiting for you!

Good news: Janika is finally back at 9.59 :


and Jan immediately went hunting at 10:00.

[Adria]

Jan did not fly for breakfast for the joy that Janika had returned to him, but he carried various materials into the nest:

at 10.21 he brought dry grass,
at 10.22 departed
at 10.24 brought konárik
at 10.25 he leaves again
at 10.29 brought mach

[Adria]

Meanwhile, as Janika incubated the eggs, she was suddenly attacked at the nest by 11.58, probably by a foreign female.


at 11.59 Jan arrived immediately to help Janika defend the nest and eggs.:


Jan, thinking that he was attacking the intruder, Janika attacked.

[Adria]

Janika and the intruder kept stuck in each other. at 12.01 Janika gained new strength and pushed the intruder out of the nest and they flew away together. In the slow motion, I noticed that the intruder had a bloodied beak. Janika probably hurt her:


Jan stayed on the nest, turned the eggs and it looks like the eggs remained undamaged.

14.10 : Janika's return -Janika is alive and well :


Immediately after, Jan left.

At 14.22 another attack on Janika:



Jan arrived immediately and Janika and the intruder fall from the nest.Janika fought with the female near the nest. At 15.02 it was heard as one stork took off and the fight subsided. We are looking forward to Janika's return to the nest.

14.50 The fight below still continues. You can hear them rustling through the bushes!

What a terrible day!!

15.02 Wing flapping and flying is heard. Silence after that. The fight is over.

15.33
15.49 Footsteps can be heard on the ground. Someone is walking there..

[Adria]

16.15: Hura! Janika returned to the nest. She is alive and unharmed:



Janika rested when she returned and at 16.31 he took turns with Jan in the incubator and Jan left.:
