1/ Yesterday checked together with Madis the trio there in clinic, they look a bit fat... maybe a kind of diet would be needed. It will be with
change of environment, if they will moved into more natural surrounding. But it takes a while, since feathering improves. Madis will move them
outdoor building of vet clinic soon, for day time (there is no camera). So they can get used in change of temperature and other conditions. It is half closed, like in woods the nest usually.

2/In Friday renewed fish basket near Jan-Janika nest, but no visits there fixed by camera. Think we will move that basket to some other
place where additional feeding is needed. Water level on streams is lower and lower... but chicks in nests need more and more food.

very, very big thank to Urmas for all what he is doing for black storks (not only for BS) and to Dr. Madis as well :D

(11.05.56) it seems to me that the difference in size is not so big any more
- the black feathers are coming soon (and the "punk" stage, I like it very much)

Hi Adriána :-)
Are they thirsty? or it is maybe some kind of bonding in this case? (siblings bill touching is about that, saliva exchange - to knowing in the future, it is some one from my family - info from HU zoologist)

edit.
(13.45) this chick also touched the "mom" bill (the picture is not the best - it is not illustrative enough)
