Cico's plumage is wet, he must have taken a bath somewhere.

We have a hatch
The storks (Ooievaars) in the Netherlands have their first chick.

And Luna brought more Paper up to the nest.

Good morning, Doris and all my annual friends. Just signing in for the first time this year....seems like I missed a lot. Keep the lovely pictures and notes coming! I don't even know how many eggs are in the nest! Do we know for sure this is Luna and Cico? Hope to catch up soon (that's what I get for taking a sunshine holliday, huh?) xxoo Barb

Hi Barb,
it is great to see you again.
We have 4 eggs, seems this is all for this year.
Our storks are not banded, so we can't really be sure.
But we have the same long-leged male and a the same dainty female like last year.
So I think, they are the same.
Sunshine holiday sounds good. I think, I need it also.

Have you figured what dates the eggs will hatch, Doris?

Welcome everyone... those from other years and new ones this year! We have some great people who keep us up to date... including Doris and Tina. Thank you.

Hello Luana,
great to see you also.
The hatch will be around Mother's Day, 11th, 12th, 13th May.
It depends on when they have started the "hard incubation"
Lets keep our fingers crossed for a great season without any drama.

Foreign stork alert again.

[Doris]

The sheet is nearly blown out of the nest.
Will Luna pull it back or will it fly away.

[Doris]

This garbage finally flew away.

Good night











Sleep well.

Miss a few days ... miss a lot! My thanks to Doris and Tina and everyone else for the pics & videos that allowed me to catch up on such happy events.
