Sue, Solo It was a lot of work for me. Kaupo was here.. the fourth storklet is back..

Hello Liz. Have you ever heard of little Ziluka (Upene 2015)? From her came at some point no more data. Do you know what happened to her?

That’s very interesting because in books one can read that storks have no tongue :-)

Good Morning Bärbelbär
We have to assume that she is no longer alive. There is the tiny hope that she has lost her backpack.
She survived her trip to Africa well. Is then disappeared in an area where many Storklets are lost (That's what wrote Maris Strazds)

The last data transfer was November 7th 2015- 14:30

Good morning Liz and all visitors.
Thanks for the information. That is always very sad. It is a pity that the storks can not hibernate here.

I wish everyone a pleasant day.
