  1. The rain finally came and lots of it.

    Last night a thunderstorm passed through and dumped a full barrel of rainwater in two minutes, today it's a more steady series of showers.

    Good for our garden! The storks are not so happy and were seen tossing wet grass clumps out of their nest.

  3. If you're wondering why trees drop small twigs and branches during storms, its to provide storks with material to fix the nest damage caused by the same storm.

  5. Two silhouettes against a silent sky.
    A fragile fortress of branches, rebuilt season after season.
    No noise, no rush — just instinct, patience, and life quietly continuing above us.

  7. Our storks are sitting on an egg. Or multiple eggs, probably. One bird is always in the nest and sitting down. The other can go off and eat.

  9. Now that its cleared of thorny fuckers, roots, old fences and grass reinforced mole hills, goat pen #2 has been designated for potatoes.

    Hooked up the rotavator and had a look what the soil was like. Looks pretty good, bit chunky so ideally I'll let it get rained on and till it again, but we'll see what the weather has to say about that.

    Slight mishaps where something went clunk and the rotavator suddenly hung at a drastic angle. Thought I'd hit something big but what actually happened was the lift arm pin had fallen out somehow.

    Luckily I kept every pin I found while sorting my scrap metal, so a replacement was quickly installed.

    One of our storks came out and had a feast (storks love tractors for that reason).

  11. News From The Nest
    An overcast morning at Knepp.
    7.37 As Pa Stork Bartek turns the eggs, Greta flies in with soft nesting material. Bartek greets her and preens himself briefly before flying off to find breakfast.

  12. Starlings singing a song, storks fixing their nest from wind and rain damage.

    We thought they were sitting on an egg already, but apparently not.

    There's plenty of starlings but hardly any sparrows this spring, the little birds stayed for the winter and that did apparently not work out too well for them this time.

  13. While Lithuanian politicians discuss state-sponsored discos to help people make more babies, the storks have no need for such support.

  14. Wife arrive! Or uh, partner. Whatever.

    I think they're both the same storks as last year. Because they are totally used to my bullshit. And last year that took some time and suspicious eyeballing first.

    The shagging has begun immediately. There's no foreplay, the whole thing lasts about 5 seconds but goes on many times per day, accompanied by slow beak clacking. Then several minutes of intense preening to straighten the feathers.
