I will not reveal a secret to anyone, but what can a stork in the forest eat?

bigfan,

black storks usually look for food in forest area - in the streams, or on the wet areas
the birds feed principally on fish, amphibians, reptilians and insect

I have a question, I find it difficult to read it from the thread / sort out the information from the posts:

How long did Julge travel by ship in the "wrong direction" and what distance was covered in this way?

Florinda thank you!

mogga,
(data analysed by Lukáš)
- from 29.8.2021 16.56 to 30.8.2021 07.59 (night resting), approx. 210 km to the north-east

by Urmas (birdmap info)
From Saaremaa Julge took west direction to fly ahead next day, but did not reach Gotland Island, Sweden. Rather sit on passing by ship at 5 PM. Unfortunately, that ship heading north. So in morning 30th Aug Julge was in the middle of sea, westward of Hiiumaa Island. Destination harbor of ship - that is Primorsk, Russia. Proposed arrival late night August 31. But Julge could leave ship somewhere before.
And so he did when he realized that the tanker chosen in the evening was not moving in the right direction. Whether Julge, the brave boarded the oncoming ship or flew back the way he had come himself remains to be seen. At first glance it seems that the speed is too fast for the ship, but it is suitable for flying with the tailwind. Anyway, Julge already spent the next night (30/31 Aug) in Poland, on the edge of the seaside village of Jaroslawiec.

Translation to english:

In addition to humans, animals and birds sometimes need our help at sea.
At the beginning of the week we received an unusual request for help from the ornithologist of MTÜ Kotkaklubi, Urmas Sellis. The scientist asked for help in locating the location and condition of the rare black stork moving west of Hiiumaa. The bird had a GPS transmitter attached, which showed that the bird was moving slowly and in a straight line in the middle of the open sea on the north course, not to the south or west, as is the custom during autumn migration. Urmas Sellis sensed that the young bird landed on a ship and asked for our help to find out if everything was fine with the bird.
Analyzing the ships moving in the area, their speed and course, and the GPS data of the birds, we identified one oil tanker on which the bird may be on board.
The Maritime Guard Center contacted the crew and we received good news. Everything was fine with Julge. He had landed on board and rested there for a while. A ship bound for Russia would have taken him back north, but fortunately the bird realized this, took off again and continued its flight south . At the moment, Julge is already in Poland.
The black stork has remained an extremely rare species in Estonia. The number of its nesting pairs has decreased to a critical limit (up to 40-60 pairs). Three children were born at the same time in Julge's brood. The parents migrated before the young birds were able to fly, and the two chicks were unfortunately prey. Julge turned out to be more heartfelt, was able to take off and took a long journey to winter in the south.

Thank you very much!
I know that many birds follow ships, for various reasons. For example ships that are used for fishing are particularly popular.
There are also studies with albatrosses, they may be suitable for tracking illegal fishing.

Madlaa, thank you so much for this good translation and interesting information. Kind of the Border Guard to give such a good description.

It's heartwarming to know that there are the people around us who care and try to do all they can to keep an eye on Julge and help as much as they can. A big thank you to all!
