The storklets are enjoying the morning shade. It is going to be a hot day for them again.

09.51 Kaia arrives to feed the chicks (1).


Something small is on the menu today. Probably frogs.


After feeding kaia stands on the curved branch for several minutes.


10.01 She jumps to the lower branch.

10.12 The chicks all look to the right.


It's Karl who arrives at the same time.


He starts to whistle and greets Kaia. She jumps back into the nest and greets Karl back with long whistles. Very nice greeting.


Kaia flies away after that.

10.14 Feeding (2). Lots of fish.




After feeding Karl stands next to the kids for a minute.
10.15 Karl regurgitates one more small piece of food.


Then Karl leaves.

Karl flew away at the same time.
