Black Stork Tracks

[Dagmar]

Solo, I've read in the guestbook and cry with you for the storklet. It's a raven-black day today. Another of the Makov birds had to leave and my favorite pig from Hof Butenland. So much death at once. Thanks for the beautiful pictures. Find comfort, Solo.

Hello everybody

POLAND
CNIG04
We had no news about him since December, 2nd, but we knew he was okay (he was photographed on December, 3rd by Avi Livne).
He moves east of the city of Hadera near Gan Shmuel Fishponds. He looks for food in the fishponds and in the surrounding fields, and has been spending the nights on a high voltage pole for several days. On December, 4th he flew southeast almoust to the road, and his location at the noon was at Hadera Stream. According to the photo it looks like it isn't much water in this stream.

Hana, thanx for update
I am still worried about him and I was unhappy when I saw in the early morning on the map this situation - the evening resting place = el. pylon
I would like to know the reasons for overnight on el. pylons even in areas where trees are (not suitable for overnight? are they already occupied by other storks?)

my storklet perished (very probably on Nov. 2)
here the migration history viewtopic.php?p=701974#p701974

later more info

Sue, thanx very much for translation

I have these infos (Dr. Peške):
The data were receiving regularly until early November. Since 2nd November practically unchanged direction the circles (see my note at the end of the text), at first signals in the undergrowth of the northern slope at the river, later from the river and after until now from the hut/probably local „church“. ...
.... It could be killing or only finding because it is difficult to find clear daily movements in that area from the data. But the location on the church (storks often sit on church roofs!) is a gps measurement error (gps location at night)
... The status as to 2nd December, 2019 is unchanged (the discrepancies from the building are within gps measurement error).
Conclusion: the stork is dead, the transmitter is in this hut (perhaps „church“?) now:

Liebe Dagmar
thanx for your kind words - I am really very sad
I am sorry for your favourite pig Erna (I am angry at animal experiments for whatever reason )

Solo, thank you for your efforts to find out as much information as possible about Makov's storklet's dead I believe that Mr. Peške will be able to visit this place and learn more.

Thanks also for very interesting information about churches and church forests in Ethiopia

Hello everyone

POLAND

Good news from
BOCZ05 CHRIS
He last reported from Chad on October 25, six weeks ago. He was probably out of the GPS coverage.
He remains in Chad, Salamat province, in a damp area around rivers and streams. He just took a one day trip to the Central African Republic, where he spent the night, and returned the next day.
On December, 6th he flew southwest to Guéra Province. There are plenty of trees in the area, so it's probably enough wet.

Hello Treia
Yes, CNIG 15 (adult female) is still in Italy. I think he'll stay here all winter, we'll see.



In Europe there is also another Polish black stork BOCZ07 Žólty (Yellow), which is in Greece, as well as last winter.
