Karula National Park (Karl II and Kaia)

The stranger is definitely very curious about our nestlings. As soon as Bonus stands up, the stranger also lifts the head and looks and listenes to the chick's twittering.




12-52 The stranger left the nest tree.

By the way, if you look at the stranger, you notice that it making the skin under the bill /throat look larger. I can't hear any voices.
Any idea what is this gesture for?

13.30 Nice jumps from Bonus.

This will probably be the frequent visitor - the female/male visitor whom the chicks see probably every day and we will also see him now. Maybe a future candidate for the nest?

[Madli]

I also think that this is the same visitor since the spring who has been frequently visiting here.

I think that the BS population in Karula forest isn't high enough for the chance of many different storks.

Here is a video of the stranger's visit.

14.01 Karl is feeding the chicks (3)


I think these are the bills of two storklets, crossing in Karl's mouth.


But there seems to be a lot of fish. The big lump is stuck again.

[Madli]

K2 gets a big mouthful straight from the bill.


Something else falls


K1 got a bigger fish.


Bonus and K3 also peck and eat something from the nest floor. But I can't see how much they got this time.

15.35 - Did the chicks find a piece of food - or did they catch something? It couldn't be determined from the camera's perspective.

[Adria]

They are looking for more food
