Liz, many thanks for your video!

Solo, Lianaliesma you're welcome

It is easy to make videos. Looduskalender has an archive! I'm very happy about it.
Solo thanks a lot for your help in this topic too!

It was a successful season.
Thanks a lot to all, who made it possible, to observe these wonderful birds.
Special thanks to Urmas, his team, Jo and Juta

[Urmas]

Are there already any news about the gender of Uno, Usin and Tali?

I have t ask colleagues who can make that!
Probably no...

[UteL.]

Oh, I was already full of hope! Pity...

Thanks for the information, Urmas

[Jo UK]

Please remember the fund-rasing campaign, and tell your friends and family too. Has anyone been able to put the Leetchi link on to Facebook?
I withdrew from FB but members who have accounts there can help, too!

But now I'm waiting for the results of genetic testing, when Tali is a boy, I get an award from my husband

Hello stork fans,
I posted the Leetchi-link on my Facebook account, however, since I've got not so many friends I'm not very confident of mobilising lots of contributors

[Jo UK]

[aquiline]

Hello Urmas
As far as I understand with the bad translation, they didn't mention anything, but I can ask them.

I copied the text, so you can translate it yourself:
Astăzi suntem încântați să vă facem cunoștință cu un personaj foarte interesant, Karl.
Un mascul de barză neagră care are o afinitate deosebită pentru zonele umede din județul Iași, Karl a fost inelat și echipat cu transmițător satelitar în 2016 în Estonia, zona în care cuibărește. La finele sezonului de cuibărit (anul trecut a avut doi pui, anul acesta a crescut trei), în drumul său spre Africa, Karl face un singur popas major pentru a-și recăpăta forțele înainte de a parcurge mii de kilometri spre zonele în care iernează. Anul trecut a rămas pe meleagurile noastre vreme de 5 săptămâni iar anul acesta este prezent în zonă de la începutul lunii și încă nu dă semne că ar vrea să plece.
Pentru noi este un bun prilej de a afla detalii despre viața acestor păsări dar și de a atrage atenția asupra importanței zonelor umede, în acest caz particular, dar și asupra ariilor protejate importante pentru migrația păsărilor în general.

La această observație și-au adus aportul, printre alții, Emanuel Baltag, Lucian-Eugen Bolboaca și Lucian Fasola-Matasaru.

Today we are pleased to meet you with a very interesting character, Karl.
A black stork male having a particular affinity for wetlands in Iasi County, Karl was ringed and equipped with a satellite transmitter in 2016 in Estonia, where he nests. At the end of the nesting season (last year he had two chicks, this year he grew three), on his way to Africa, Karl makes one major stopover to regain his strength before crossing thousands of miles to areas where he hunts . Last year stayed in our country for 5 weeks and this year is present in the area since the beginning of the month and still does not show signs of wanting to leave.
For us, it is a good opportunity to learn about the life of these birds, but also to draw attention to the importance of wetlands in this particular case, but also on protected areas important for bird migration in general.

Emanuel Baltag, Lucian-Eugen Bolboaca and Lucian Fasola-Matasaru contributed to this observation.

baska, thank you for posting this news and beautiful pictures!
I'm very glad to see Karl!

[Jo UK]

Urmas sent this image from Google earth, which shows where Karl was photographed.
Also, he will be soon be able to tell us the gender of the young storks!

[baska]

Thank you for the information, Jo and Urmas !

Karl is still in the same area. No wonder, there are a lot of wetlands, creeks, little lakes and fishponds.

[Liz01]

......
Also, he will be soon be able to tell us the gender of the young storks!

I am quite curious
