.........

It's 633 x 669 px .... That's allowed. I'll make it smaller anyway. It looks huge

OK, it's smaller now, but it still looks like it is a good picture for all they can not see well

yes, also my pics seems time to time not in allowed size - who know where is the problem

[Michi]

Hello Solo and Liz,
thanks a lot for all updates and pics!
I'm happy Eedi has sent data again.

Solo, I can't answer your question now. I've no internet for some days, and can use only the handy. That’s awful!
See you all later!

BTW: Pics are allowed in size of 800 x 600.

Czech Republic (CZ) ... Martin ...

very sad news

FB Záchranná stanice a Dům přírody Poodří, Bartošovice https://bit.ly/2QmM2dJ (translation GT)
"We also lost the stork Martin
Unfortunately, we do not bring good news again, 14.11. we lost contact with the last stork Martin. With incoming locations, it was obvious that the stork remained in place, in an unnatural position. Luboš Pešek, a colleague, addressed a famous Turkish ornithologist, who subsequently followed their respective ministry. This office was unusually operative, and the results of their investigation revealed a very sad statement that stork Martin died in southern Turkey after receiving poisoned bait.
Thanks to Mrs. Maria Z. and Mrs. Hana Kučerová, who drew attention to the photograph of a young stork with a radio, we have his photo of 27.10. t.r., when he stayed at Dörtdivan, Bolu (Turkey). The photographs are a very good document."

the last localisation (at 15:05 stork still in moving, at 15:35 without moving )


Mr. Pešek, the welt-known expert in area bird telemetry (btw. he is one of my consultor )

Solo, That's a bad news! Poor little Storklet! How can you give a little stork a poisoned bait? This is cruel. People are cruel.

I have no idea, it was maybe poisoned fish (for raptors)? (the investigation is in progress, but you know how it gets used to ending probably also in your country )

Yes, it may be that it was a bait for other animals ... but it is bad for any animal. I like them all!
You're right, it happens here in my country too. I know it very well. Protected animals are especially liked to be killed here.

... Slowly it gets uncomfortable in Hungary (weather wise) If swe BS wants to fly away? (BOCZ07 ZOL) ...

Sova, news about BOCZ07 ZO

PL BS - ŻÓŁTY/Yellow - BOCZ07 ZO

news Nov. 26 FB BocianiMy gif - https://www.facebook.com/BocianiMy/vide ... 794221424/

(GT - little correction by me)
Yellow by the river Keresz
On Map flights bocianimy http://bocianimy.pl/?page_id=376 one of the black storks named Yellow is still sitting in Hungary over the irrigating channels, even though his "home boys" have been long in Afrika. It's second year bird coming from Nadleśnictwa Skierniewice with a leg transmitter. When the food is in abundance, the low temperatures, which in the last 3 weeks oscillate at night from 0 to 3 degrees Celsius worried him not. According to the acceleration date the bird is clearly less moving, searching not so much for food and more sitting in one place. Will this strategy prove effective and what will continue with yellow? We'll see...

Hello Solo, Liz and all!
I'm very sad to read that the young stork Martin died.
What a cruel world!!! Why must an innocent storklet die?

I have seen Martins picture on an earlier page (213) and admired him so much. He was such a cute stork, still looking like a baby.

Poor Martin, dear little one, rest in peace and fly high!
