Hi Madli, I'm here !

10.41 - The Bonus is added and together they all adjust the nest

So far, this is going beyond my expectations. There was not the slightest sign of aggression. Neither from young nor from adult storks.

Welcome Adriana! Your contributions are most welcome.

And I hope you don't mind if I call this "Bonus" JJ instead. I don't know...I think that Bonus refers to a bingo ball or something..

I'm busy making some videos and I will be away later- so you can post and add as much as you like

Thanks to Madli

. I won't mind what you call him at all. We didn't invent the name.

13.27 - there was a big fight for the fish that they still had from yesterday.

For a while it looked like Bonus would win, but in the end the winner was one cub from Karl and Kaia.

Many thanks to Madli for the videos. I'm not shooting any video from yesterday's action - I accidentally deleted the file with a permanent sequel, without the possibility of recovery.

14.30 #3 is pulling JJ's toes

14.32 The chicks are looking up and observing something.

14.33 Kaia?? Lands on the lower branch. JJ is very scared and defending. Other chicks don't start begging for food like they usually would.

I think it's not Kaia, but some stranger. It has a dark area on the bill and a lighter head?

I can't make screenshots at the moment.
Adriana, maybe you can make a zoom photo of this stork.

14.37 The adult left.

Edit: As I look at it again- It was probably Kaia, but the very strong reaction of JJ intimidated Kaia and she just didn't dare to come to the nest.

Black Stork - Ciconia Nigra
