Following Karls' Families

Tonight, Karula sleeps not far from Kalaat Moudik in Syria.
Or Qalaat al-Madiq.

Are these opium poppies?

Michi, maybe tomorrow Karula will already be in Turkey.
He is the most clever storklet I ever met.

I cross my fingers.

[Michi]

That would be great, Anne; a big relief.
If nothing and no one will disturb our Karula, he/she can manage the challanges very well. Until now she has shown it in an impressive way. Karula is indeed a smart storklet, - our youngest.

Unfortunately I can't say if those flowers are opium poppies.

Good night, everyone!

Sova, Michi, Liz, Summi and everyone: HURRAY!
We have new data from our little Karula!
.........

Good Morning Anne, Michi, Sova, Summi

Anne, thanks a lot for the good news.

What a relief!I was in worry.
Good and safe journey, little Karula. Maybe you are one of the juvies, who visit their home land in the second calendar year. I'm curious where you will spend the summer

26. April

Good Morning Anne, Michi, Liz, Summi
But that's wonderful news. Thanks Anne. I am happy ...

Anne, I will make the weather map from home this evening.
It's a bit more involved with Karula's travels. This is not so good from the office.

Happy day to you all

[Treia]

Good Morning!

Thanks for the good update-news and all nice maps and pictures, sigh of relief!
It's great that Karula is safe and is traveling!

I wish a beautiful day for our birds and you all !

[Summi]

Karula, take care of yourself!

[Anne7]

Summi, you can leave the black hole!

At 12:30:35 (UTC+3), he was in Turkey.
He crossed the Gulf of Iskenderun in less than an hour.
At his last known position, near Elmagölü in Turkey, Karula is still flying at a speed of 64 km/h

[Liz01]

WOW, watch this!

Anne, thank you for the update.

Well done little Karula
I am really curious where she/he will spend the summer (for me it is a she )

[Michi]

Hello Anne, Sova, Liz, Summi and everyone,

WOW, watch this!
Our little Karula in action. : D
[.......]

She‘s in Turkey!!! Another HURRAY!
I‘m very happy, that Karula has left Syria behind her.
Thanks a lot for the update, Anne!

At its last known position, near Elmagölü in Turkey, Karula was still flying at a speed of 64 km/h 8- )

That‘s quite a lot. Great! I think she must have fun, flying so fast.

Thank you, Liz! I‘ve read it now. So it was the same region, where Mares transmitter was silent. Good, to know that.

Have a nice evening, all!

[Anne7]

everyone

Michi, I am very relieved too that Karula left Syria behind him. Or behind her. I think it's a HE.

Liz, just a little guess: maybe Karula will fly to his favourite place in Ukraine.

Here is Karula's map for the entire day.

Sova, what a huge amount of work you did!
You definitely deserve a break... und ein kleiner Schnaps. (Oder ein Obstler?)

OK, I will do the summaries now.

[Michi]

Thanks a lot, Anne, for the new update and the maps and picture!
So Karula has moved on a little bit in Turkey.
Hopefully she has found a good and safe place for the night.

BTW, I call Karula as a „she“, but have no argument for that. I admit, once I saw a picture from Karula (in the nest), where she/he stood so proud and also strong, that I thought it must be a male. But nevertheless I call her like a female.

Good night, everyone!

Edit:
Sova Many thanks for the lot of work, you‘ve done!
Anne

It is such a great relief to know that Karula arrived safely in Turkey. Thank you all for your work.

We don't know whether it is HE or SHE. Are there still no results of the DNA test from last year?

Hello Aquiline,
quite a while ago Jo UK told us that the results are still not available. I think they will tell us if the results are present.
