I was wondering what you are doing here at this time Luana.
No, I do not think this are Cico and Luna.
Last year both storks nearly had the same size.
This male has extra long legs and the female is small and tiny.

I hope the ice on the river will melt soon and you can enjoy your spring. Your winter must have been real hard and long.

A little bit unexperienced.

Here on this picture you can see the difference in size







The last years Cico also brought in a lot of sticks and nesting material, he flew back and forth several times a day.
He builded i castle for his family.
This couple only re-arranges the sticks in the nest.

They had a quiet night.
Working more on the nest now.

Good morning,
Cico returned to the nest with a stick and re-arranged some other sticks.







A bit later:
Another new stick





They become more eager in building their nest.

An intruder tried to land on the nest but was chased away.
Our couple defendet their nest.

Das hab ich befürchtet, ihr habt Euch hierher

Lesen kann ich Euch zwar nicht, aber schauen
Danke für die schönen Bilder
