And now while the kids are away, the nest is repaired, Luna can have a rest and preen a bit and take care of herself.







Cico came.

[Doris]

The end of a peaceful morning.
A little hungry babystork came begging for food.

[Doris]

Cico came home with nesting material.



And now both adults are on the nest, clattering alert
Maybe the neighbor family from Stradower ponds is circling in the air.

It is a hard school but I hope he has learned his lesson.
The nest is empty now.
Thank you for your night shift and sleep well.

[Doris]

Looks like Cico.



Taking a rest



And now preening.
The adult storks are molting during the nesting season.



Quick exchange:
Luna flew in, Cico flew out.



Cico came back, they clattered a bit and than he left again.



Another quick exchange:
Luna left and now a youngster is here



and away at 10.56

this exchanges are funny
Now its Cico again



Nest exchange about 20 minutes ago.
Now there is a youngster again in the nest.



both youngsters.



FOOOOOOOD!!!!!



One youngster left



And back again



And another feeding

Good morning,
thank you for your coverage dear Su.

Both youngsters in the nest at the moment.
One of them left before for some minutes but returned.



While I wrote this, one of the youngsters left again.



It was a good idea to stay at home, dad came with food.



some minutes later, sibling is back.

Little greedy monster.
