The stork chicks from the nest in our village took their first flight today. In fact, as I was trying to photograph them resting on a roof, they took off for their second flight. Living in a village might mean that we're highly car-dependent, especially since there are no deliveries, but it gives us a very quiet life in the middle of nature.

A spell of sunshine before the next rain front hits.

The young storks are facing it with glee. Each front arrived today with strong gusts of wind that blew stuff around the yard and let the juveniles hover above the nest and practice flying without the risk of leaving and being unable to return.

Although at this point I think they're just being big chickens. One was several meters above the nest before dropping back down. You're basically flying already, mate! Get out there.

Flight school. Our young storks still do not dare leave their nest for the first time, but they've advanced to hovering.

The other two siblings have to keep their heads down because there is only one helipad and its also where everybody eats their food delivery and sleeps.

At least they've soon learnt how to poop over the side. Should really move the compost heap under there for all this free phosphorus.

Meanwhile the parents are either out collecting food or perching on a nearby chimney or hay bale.

We've gotten used to the *whomp* when they take off from or land on our chimney hood at night.

When its hot, the storks keep their beaks open to cool themselves. Looks like they're about to say something.

The three young storks appreciate every breeze. They can't leave the nest yet but must practice flying somehow. If there's enough airflow over their wings, they can take turns standing up in the nest and getting a feel for it. In a stronger breeze they jump up and hover above the nest for a few seconds before landing back in it, more or less well.

Soon they should be able to take their first real flight.

The parents are meanwhile sitting on our chimney watching the progress of their offspring.

"Meh ok, snail nuggets with slime sauce?"

"Snails are gone, too"

Baby storks are sticking their heads up now and throwing their necks back to make little clap-clap sounds with their beaks.

There's three little ones, same as last year. Hope they all make it this year too!

Now is the critical phase where they cannot fly yet and leaving the nest means certain death. The parents must find and deliver enough food so these can grow to full size birds that can survive the long migration to the southern hemisphere.

Storks prefer to hunt in short vegetation where they can see prey, aren't surprised by predators and tall vegetation doesn't hinder take-off.

They're attracted to the sound of mowers and tractors and will hunt near them, which is impressive when such a big bird swoops over your head.

Counted three baby storks today. It was a warm day with good thermals, so other storks were soaring high in the sky. One descended and took a few swoops at our nest but was chased off by one of our adult storks.

This is a regular occurence on warm days where the sun heating up the fields produces updrafts that the clever birds use to ascend without expending energy.

That's how they can migrate so far and why they avoid crossing oceans (they cross only at the narrow straits of Gibraltar and the Bosporus).

Stork is keeping an eye on the situation in the eastern skies.

There's two hatchlings in the nest now and when its quiet we can hear them gently clapping with their little beaks.

Wet stork. Its been raining a lot.

But I hear baby stork screeches, so I guess at least one egg has hatched. Well done!

Baby storks screech quietly, sounding almost like a frog, so last year I was wondering why the stork caught a frog and kept it alive up there until realizing what the sounds were 😆

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.
