Still just two bored looking storks

 

[Rosie34]

Just had a look and mama stork was standing and checking the eggs and generally tidying round - and there are at least 3 eggs

 

[debz1]

I could be wrong (most likely ) but mummy stork looks quite restless today so maybe the eggs are about to hatch. Also her fluffy tummy feathers that grow to keep the eggs warm appear to have been pushed up and out..maybe to make way for the baby chicks.

It must be any day surely!

Just going to back to Vic for a moment. I was checking out the Time Laps section rather than the Live cam feeds (choose it on the left hand side of the page on the Stork watch) and I went into the vulture park. The second time laps video down of the vultures nest, taken on 30/4/15 looks a little disturbing to me. Can someone check it out and confirm or deny? :-(

If you go back through the posts this was exactly the time some of us showed concern... and then the webcam was turned off! When it came back on Victor was never in the nest (when I looked anyway) and I haven't seen any sign of him since. Hmmmmmmm

 

[Belladonna]

Mm. I think looking at the time lapse video, we were all justified in our concerns. Nature is pretty brutal at times.

Back to happier live webcam then debz, Stork, Butter and Margarine should be along soon!

 

[Rosie34]

Just looked at the time lapse for the vultures and it seems to explain everything and confirm our worst suspicions at the time. Really sad

The remember? Yes, friends, it's the louse Vulture outsider who was born in Son Pons on April 13. Grows healthy and is in perfect condition in the hopes of finding young Godfather. You are interested in? If so, just send an email to info@procustodia.org asking for this issue. Importantly, the godfathers/godmothers young will be very important at the time to put her name, that don't already have one. Thank you very much

¿Le recordáis? Sí, amig@s, es el pollo de buitre leonado que nació en Son Pons el pasado día 13 de abril. Crece sano y se encuentra en perfecto estado a la espera de que alguien quiera apadrinarle ¿Os interesa? Si es así, solamente tenéis que enviar un e-mail a info@procustodia.org preguntando por este asunto. Importante: l@s padrinos/madrinas serán muy importantes a la hora de ponerle nombre, que todavía no tiene. Muchas gracias.

I dont think he will beat the storks in the beauty stakes Sparky mate!! Although he is kind of cute!!

 

[Sparky]

Yes he is and it looks like the BVCF have named him Leonado .

Mum spent quite a while stretching her legs this afternoon, preening, titivating the nest and moving the eggs around. I can't be totally sure, but we may have to add Lurpack to Stork , Butter and Margarine, as there may be four eggs!

 

[Tangoman]

Names for Babies

I really do not think that Lurpak is appropriate - so my vote would go to................... FLORA!!! Also, keeps up the PP link!!

 

[Sparky]

There are definitely 4 eggs in the nest .

 

[sws97sdg]

just checked, and as you said, saw 4, both taking turns on the nest!

Eggselent idea Tangoman! Flora it is! And maybe Stork can be disregarded in favour of Clover?
Clover, Flora, Butter, and Marge! Glad I can count up to 4!

 

[Tangoman]

Did you say "Eggcelent" Belladonna?? Saturday Kitchen isn't until tomorrow..

However your choice of names is spot on....... in fact, I can't believe it's not better!!! Boom, Boom!!

 

[Belladonna]

I will not be drawn in .... I will not be drawn in .... Spread the news!!

 

[Tangoman]

Is she trying to "butter me up", or just "Larding it over me"???

 

[Tangoman]

Belladonna,just back from Tesco's Dairy Department, Butter and Spreads aisle!!!

So, finally, are the eggs "Low Low" in the nest - also suggest one could be called "Olive".

I think that'll win it for me then!!

( Wonder what topic she'll move onto next?? )
