Hello everyone


No6:
- little one seems to be very tired, he is very hungry and weakened already
- one little food per day in the first two day isn't enough
- I am concerned for this little storklet

- approx. 06.27.26-28 No6 pocked to the eggshell
- approx. 06.28.22 ... little one pocked to the moss near females foot, the big sibling moved and the little storklet rolled over and this big sibling pocked it (benjamin got up quickly relatively)

FEMALE is on the nest from 06.29

FEEDING at 07.33 (female is on the nest)
- all chicks ate very good, except No6
- No6: the youngest stork yawns a lot, does not show an effort to get to eat, little one pecked only in the sibling's ass and / or around

MALE is on the nest from 08.50

08.51 great FEEDING
No6? I will check it
youtube chat info by our Adriána: "​number six cut off pieces of fish, but did not eat the whole fish, but at least something" "​8.53.58"

youtube chat info by our Liz: "9:10 a hawk was callin. I hope it was only a sparrowhawk. ​Goshawk and Sparrowhawk sound almost the same for me. I have real problems distinguishing them.

09.23 male up, self -preening (little one is begging - that is good, all others are sleeping)
09.29 FEEDING (for No6 ? others ate too)
- No6 is eating, food with moss, it is hard for little one
- benjamin isn't full yet, still chirps, but ate again a bit

8.53.33 - number 6 at 8.53.33 has a fish in its beak and may have been eaten:

youtube chat (by me):
"7:53 AM marika marika
​No6 crowled to the fish and nibbled it, but male ate this fish back
7:55 AM marika marika
​or it is No5 (No6 is sleeping? behind them)

- so it was No6, good to know that, Adriána thank you
- this youngest storklet doesn't need to eat much (as much as big siblings), but it needs to eat and regularly
- skipping meals is not good for benjamin, because it only increases the size gap
- as we saw yesterday, the parents adjust the food (also) according to the size of the offspring (and thus the three older ones were able to swallow a really big fish yesterday in the evening)

today is crucial for No6, even No5 "came to life" until the third day significantly, but anything can happen at any time, although the first 10-14 days are usually decisive - finger crossed for miracle = nest with 6 fledged siblings (edit: but 5 is also very, very, good even 4)

10.57 - Jan feeds - five chicks ate, also number 6, one slept. number 6 is ahead
