Good morning :wave:

POLAND - BocianiMy Project
http://mapa.bocianimy.pl/

PL - CNIG28 Turek - hatched in 2020

New data: 15.08. 00:01 Previous data: 13.08. 00:01

Wintering area: Senegal, Guinea

POLAND -  Gorzów County, Lubusz Voivodeship 
Turek remains in new area - in the Warta Mouth National Park (Park Narodowy Ujście Warty), near the German-Polish border, south of Dabroszyn and west of Kostrzyn nad Odra: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kostrzyn_nad_Odr%C4%85

Warta Mouth National Park (Park Narodowy Ujście Warty) covers a surface of 8074 hectares.
https://www.pnujsciewarty.gov.pl/418,ge ... nformation:
The Warta River flowing through the middle of the Park is a natural border between two areas, Northern Polder and the floodland.
The floodland is a semi-natural area in which annual water level fluctuations may reach up to 4 meters with its maximum in the spring months (March and April).
The Northern Polder is separated from a direct influence of Warta by a levee build along the river bed. The water level is here definitely lower than at the left bank and relatively stable.
Nowadays Park’s landscape is a mosaic of meadows, pastures and areas overgrown by sedge and reed. The existing plant communities are typical for agriculturally developed valleys of big lowland rivers.
Not many places in Poland can boast such a incredibly high and diverse amount of birds. Sometimes during only one day 250 thousand of birds may be observed, so it is not odd that the meadows at Warta River are under protection within The Ramsar Convention.

(FB translation)

🧐🎬 FREZIJA AND FELEK
Frezija flew out of the nest together with Felek on August 7, 2021. Both birds flew south-east. The Polish-Ukrainian border crossed on August 8 and settled in Ukraine, near Beresteczko behind Lviv. They must have lost touch, however, because they stayed in separate forest complexes, 9 km apart. On August 9 they flew south independently and stayed in front of the Ukrainian-Romanian border.
On August 10 they flew into Romania and flew separately on parallel routes straight south. Frezija stopped by the Agas river and Felek on the Raul Casin river, near the city of Bacau, eastern Romania. Both storks during the accommodation on August 12 were only 22 km apart. 💚
Unexpectedly loger Felka has shown no stork activity since August 14, indicating that Felek is dead 😢.
On the other hand, on August 13, Frezija flew further - towards the mouth of the Seret river to the Danube. Since flying out of the Felek nest 🖤 On average, they traveled around 200 km a day, flying at approx. 40 km / h.

Hello everyone :wave:

POLAND - BocianiMy Project

BOCZ07 Żólty - SKIERKA POLAND
Wintering area: Greece

Skierka (YELLOWS) has not yet set out on its migration journey. Remains in Poland. This year she nests for the first time and has two offspring. The map display is switched off during the nesting period.
Skierka was photographed on 14 August 2021 (photo and video: Michał Lagiera)

GT: "Storks, storks still storks 😀🌲
Well, come on. Skierka stole our hearts 😍, so much so that we decided to visit her where she was feeding.
It was puzzling what is so interesting in the place of its feeding that it covers 23 km in a straight line 🤔 and the flight takes her an hour 🤔 as established by the Eagle Conservation Committee for which WE THANK YOU
We already know 😃 These are shallow breeding ponds with young carp fry, where it is difficult to treat a human, i.e. such a small RODOS for birds 😂
Skierka clearly liked the peace here 😃
I wonder if he will show this place to his youngSoon it will turn out. We are looking forward to.!

today news:

10:54 AM Piotr Zieliński
I sent Cristan instructions and everything up to date.
Together with the map of the points of measurement, he would know that he was looking for me right on the whole bed. (Solo: info from prof.PZ - the coordinates cover a larger area of 100x80 meters)
If they are still free to settle, e.g. broken glass, paid in wires, strings, the message is clear, but it will not be clear what happened

2:24 PM Piotr Zieliński
Hello again, Cristian has arrived. He easily found a lot of torn feathers from our stork. So the fox / dog / boar tore him on the ground. Feathers were 20 m from the position indicated by the transmitter.
He still hasn't found the transmitter, but he's looking for. Let me know.

(Cristian is volunteer from Romania, he went with one ornithologist about 2 hours by car to the place)

the exact GPS localisation Felek 15.08 15:55 46.180214° 26.731699°(no change from that time)

the newest info by prof. Piotr Zieliński
https://www.facebook.com/groups/bociany ... 500488633/

Cristian Turcan sent two photos. The transmitter has not been found yet. He had to go back. But on the weekends, he would still come with the pruner because the rest of the stork could be among the thorny bushes and now he can’t get there. He know from the locals that wild boars often roam there at night.

info from HU animal rescuer: only dogs and foxes eat in this way, the wild boars stand on the victims and so they tear

The rice field is basically a pond with a clean ditch around the perimeter with water (containing fish), but the whole area is covered with rice. (GT translation without corrections)

The black stork is "like mud" here - in the same "pond" of the Mares, Emanuel counts 23, but he doesn't see everyone, and no bird can notice the transmitter. (GT translation :mrgreen: without corrections)

VEDRU

Urmas:
... "About Vedru will write in migration map if can reach it. But Vedru got injured in car accident in Syria during spring migration, brought to local vet, but died after few days. Think something was wrong one day before car accident as Vedru walked on ground during last day before accident. " ...

VEDRU
birdmap info:
Juvenile Black Stork we caught fully fledged, but no information if Vedru is hatched 2020 in Saaremaa island or flew there. No rings weared before trapping. Verdu started to visit trap with fish we installed to catch adult stork still feeding but rarely very late chicks in known nest. After we caught adult, Vedru returned to the trap after about two hours and we used easy option to track also this juvenile. Juvenile stork Vedru did not learn much of trapping as returned for fishing in trap in three hours aftertagging again. This might be explained with shortage of food in streams or/and inexperiece of juvenile bird. Vedru started to migrate in 30th of August, crossed sea and stopped for first night of migration on Ruhnu island, to fly ahead next day to Latvian mainland. Ruhnu is not common place to cross, but sometimes it happened for juveniles.
Vedru stopped in several places during migration (Romania for a month, Turkey a week, Lebanon 10 days). By 17th of November reached Jordan valley, Israel. Will see if that is a wintering site? Several Black Storks from Estonia have wintered there in past.... no, it was only for ten days. Last data we got of Vedru in late November, Egypt. And only in mid May next communication happened - in the same region, Egypt. Nevertheless, Vedru got away all data stored in backpack, therefore we know its wintering site in North Ethiopia, Tigray highlands. Juveniles tend to move nortwards in next spring, but not up to breeding sites. We will see, where is Vedrus summering site. There is no more experienced adults around now, only possible company can be of storks of same age and experience. Karula spent second summer in Turkey, for example.

little Vedru before the big travel (source birdmap)

Black Stork specialist Rein Nellis prepared Vedru for to release 21.08.2020
Image

Vedru started to fly immediately after felt free 21.08.2020
Image

But Vedru visited the trap during a week after trapping. A day before migration still hoping for food in trap 29.08.2020
