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. #Stork #StorkNest #Weather #Homestead #Bird #BirdsOfMastodon #FediBird #Squall

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. #Homestead #Stork #StorkNest #Bird #BirdsOfMastodon #FediBird

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. #StorkNest #Weather #Gardening #Rain #Homestead #Stork #Bird
