reserved - reporting to 8h - done

07.28 change, M in with plastic waste - greetings, F ruffle her feathers and out at 07.29
M takes care of the eggs - at 7.30 he settled on the eggs

this plastic seems to me like a piece from cover of the silo rolls - is there a grassland or it was blown there only by the wind (and It could be blown away by the wind - the plastic ropes are more dangerous for the chicks as well for the adult storks)



the plastic is outside the nest bowl - yet


07.50 F in with huge bunch of moss (she is fluffing it), M stand up and pooping
07.51 M takes care of the eggs, F is working with branches on the nest rim and she flies out again and he settled
M is collecting the moss
