[marika.solo]

now he is resting

and preening

as everyday there are gaps/jumps in streaming, self-refreshing but back ...

it seems our juvenile storklets gone forever

- I saw female on the nest first at 11.37.56
- they preens each other and than themselves
- she flew away at 12.03, but at 12.07 she is back again
- they preens each other and than themselves, resting and so on
- from 14.00 male is alone on the nest already, he stayed there to 17.45

I have to make a selection from the photos, I'll upload them later (probably tomorrow morning)

The last visits and the long stay on the nest seemed to be not waiting for the chicks any longer, but saying goodbye to the nest.
We will see. The transmission remains on for now.

As there is no possibility of rewind and the camera did not work reliably all the time, not everything could be documented accurately. And except for one occasion when the frogs were clearly visible, I was never able to see what food was brought in.
It was big pleasure and thank you Parco Gallipoli for the opportunity to observe the nesting in the rock cavity.

Adriána, thank you for your contribution to the documentation of the life of the nest.

I wish all the storks good luck and look forward to the next season!

(it's time to upload the missing photos)
