Hello, everyone

Hello Anne !

TY for posting the new informations and maps !

Hello, baska!
My pleasure.

I'm glad to see you!

Baska, I don't know if you would like to give a hand here, but all help (from everyone) would be very welcome!

Karula - seeming to be the smallest and the most hesitating one - is going on straight forward following the sun what a surprise. A strong and intelligent storklet

Hello, aquiline.

Yes, "our" little Karula is amazing! This storklet is immediatly traveling fast and in the right direction!
I hope that he/she does not forget to rest and to eat!

Here is a very interesting paper on BS migration (in French, with an English translation at the end)
http://www.aves.be/fileadmin/Aves/Bulle ... -4_155.pdf

It talks about the influence of the weather and the age of BS on flight performance.
It says:
"Influence of age
Comparison of flight performances and age of birds shows that adults, immature and young storks, realize similar performances during migration.
Nevertheless, young and immature storks tend to make longer distances flights interrupted by longer and more frequent stopovers.
Adults travel that distance in a more constant way: the daily distances are shorter and spread over a greater number of active fly days.
This conclusion could be attributed to the lack of experience of young birds.
Longer daily distances cost them more energy and force them to fly flapping their wings at the beginning and at the end of the day, when thermals are not developed yet. Birds may be forced to stop regularly to fill up calories."

Yes, Karl and our amazing Karula have already gone a long way, and Päike's journey has just begun.
But Maru? Hopefully also she can turn her direction to southward!

Hello Anne !
I will be pleased to do that, but later.
Currently I am still busy with "my" other nests, whose pictures I usually post in another forum.

Have a nice rest of sunday !

[Anne7]

Thanks, baska!
See you!

[UteL.]

The storks probably know that today is sunday and rest,
What Karula is attacking, he pulls through. Just like the first time he flew, as if he had never done anything else.
Maru feels better without the little ones and Päike only has food in her head.
I'm so curious how it goes on.
Karl has definitely overtaken Karula ... .

Good Morning all

thank you for updates

Data are still from 18.08. 2018 Maybe all are outside the GSM coverage.

[UteL.]

All Black Storks on map. Added also Eedi, not exactly the member of family, but for to compare. Eedi was not visiting nest(s) anymore, so nothing to hide. If some delays on data update, then its because I was not near the computer and web.
Soon will be added also other species, but now BSs can spread out their wings over the all the map...

Well, then we wait

Karl is in Belarus. 647 km
They both fly very fast.



@ Anne7 Päike is still looking for the pike?

[Liz01]

Karula is flying without any break. For me she s a bit too much in a hurry.

Karl is making a break .. it looks like it

Päike is searching for food in a forest area

Maru is back in the little Nature reserve. It seems, it is not easy to find food. Maru flies a lot back and forth.

@ Anne7 Päike is still looking for the pike?

It's raining in latvia?!

[Swenja]

It's raining in latvia?!

@UteL. that was fun and related to a post from Anne. Of course it is raining in the area where Päike is.

I recognized the fun

I just wanted to bring the weather to mind, I'll just see what it looks like at Maru.... no rain



Karula has a tree to sleep found in a forest near a small river?

[Anne7]

Hello Ute, Swenja, Liz and all!

Good to see that we have new data.

I'm not at home for the moment, so I cannot document this update now.
But this topic 'belongs' to all members, so anyone who would like to post maps and pics here is of course truly welcome to do so!

See you soon.
