01. June '06	2nd stork chick hatched - named Meto. (Sorbian name for Lea)
Incidents:

03 June '06	The oldest chick - Lenka - died (later diagnosis: Aspergillosis)

Banding of the Young Storks:
03 July '06	Hugo receives the ELSA-Ring #H 4221
Regulation of Temperature:
-	With high July temperatures, above 85/F/30/C, the storks chalk their legs with their own droppings. This is a natural behaviour of white storks which prevents overheating of the legs.
Start of Flight Trials:
-	-
The first free Flights:
-	-
Leaving of the Eyrie:
11 Aug. '06	At about 11:05 a.m. the stork couple sits together at the eyrie for the last time. Apparently Luna then started the flight to Africa. After this only Cico remained at the eyrie. As usual, the parent storks separate after the brood season and go their individual ways.
19 Aug. '06	Cico spent the night for the last time at the eyrie and embarked on the flight to Africa in the early morning hours.
