I don't know, Kaia has probably decided to guard the nest tonight, she probably knows something.

19.22 Karl comes home for feeding.
It takes him several minutes to regurgitate. It's just not that easy sometimes.
19.27 Feeding (6)

[Madli]

20.08 Kaia comes home for feeding (7). Regurgitation isn't easy for Kaia either. She needs many attempts to get everything out.





There must be something big


Kaia tries and tries again. A few fish fall out occasionally.

20.10 A bigger fish falls out. #3 claims it.


20.11 Kaia leaves.
The chicks are also chirping for water..

[Madli]

The chicks are nice and full. But probably thirsty because the weather is still very very hot.


20.18 Kaia brings water! At first she lands on the lower branch, then jumps to the nest.






Kaia also drips water on the nest floor.
20.21 She leaves.

[Madli]

It was a good shower.


20.26 Kaia brings more water.




The chicks are still very excitedly asking.
20.29 Kaia off.

[Madli]

20.33 Kaia comes again, flying through the forest. She brings more water. A good bill to bill offering and a shower.


20.38 Kaia steps on the curved branch.
20.40 Kaia leaves. The storklets are wet and cooled down

[Madli]

20.46 Kaia comes back again with a small tuft of moss and even more water! She's great!




Kaia goes to the curved branch.

[Madli]

22.07 Oh no! Today is the day when Kaia decides to stay in the nest for the night ?!


TODAY out of all days....
I don't think that Urmas can execute the plan of transfering the foster stork tonight..
