16:27 A male flies in. Presumably it’s again male #2

What happened to that guy? Look at those feathers.

16:34 He shakes his plumage.

He preens, he rests and keeps an eye on the forest

21:26 A male arrives. I think it’s again male #2.
Image

He doesn’t seem to be in a great shape?
Image

He’s still there and sleeps.
Image

Good night.


I don’t know if I can document tomorrow.
This constantly stuttering stream is absolutely unpleasant to watch.

Hello :hi:

The camera is still stuttering and switches on and off every few seconds…
It’s quite possible that I will miss some events.

21:16 A black stork is on the nest.
I don’t know at what time he arrived, because the cam went off and I can’t rewind any further.
Image

This is most probably Male #2. :nod:
Image

The nest bowl seems to be sinking deeper and deeper. Is this big old nest decaying?
