15.39 - KARL flew in

15.39 - Karl took one fish and flew away

I noticed something interesting in this situation.

15.39 BEFORE Karl flew is, there is short twittering in the forest- chicks saw Karl's arrival.

As soon as Karl left with the fish, intense twittering (begging for food) began. I hear 2 voices- Did Karl fly to the chicks with the fish and fed them on the ground?
7194 arrives to the nest, still twittering and started to vigorously search for the leftover fish.
At the same time, one chick ( I think 7193) is still twittering in the forest- Karl is still there?

It would be really interesting to see and study the behavior of black storks after they fledged and stay near the nest. I think that feeding outside the nest couldn't be such an impossible event...

Thank you, Madli, for the observation .
There was a similar situation in the morning at 8.20, but Karl then returned to the nest.
It would be most interesting and useful if we had cameras somewhere near the nests .
