[Anne7]

Yes, that would be really great!

[Heloise]

For some reason it seems to me that Sova thinks Pikne is a boy I hope Katrin and Pikne will meet!
And in any case I join a group of positive people!
I hope Julge has found his group too!

Good morning, everyone

Thank you, Juta
Hopefully there will be new data in the evening.

[Solo]

... Thanks Solo Very interesting information. So maybe Julge is in a group. And they give a possible explanation for the BS being there.

you're welcome; interesting information also to me; we don't know about Julge (last photos and infos - alone)

Solo, I guess you are right. And we can also see that in former years of Lk BS. There are some studies in France about that. And further more, of course when the BS are followed it's easier to know. But many times you don't even need to have them followed: they leave their nests at different times.

; there are still very few publicly known data, but the claim that black storks live alone except the nesting period seems to be true (this applies to both adults and young birds after leaving the nest)

25.09 Birdmap update: ... Nurme - 2807 km (+358 km), Nurme is travelling southwards and sent data near Vinohradne in Ukraine ...

Hellem, thx - I'm very curious where Nurme will spend the winter

Good morning everyone

Thank you, juta.
JULGE holds us in suspense as always .....

A very far-fetched idea / consideration - can the volcanic dust cause disruptions?

…
Volcanic eruption

Hello sova
Thank you!

I did some research, and theoretically it may indeed happen. The below article says:

“… Radio and telephone communications are extremely vulnerable to disruption during a volcanic ashfall and may become temporarily inoperable in areas affected by ash. …”

Edit: And also this
“ Interference… Large quantities of electrically charged ash can be generated in an eruption column. This charged ash can cause interference to radio waves and render radio and telephone systems inoperative. However, this has been very rarely observed. There are many examples of radio and telephone communications continuing to function around an erupting volcano and in areas receiving ashfalls. …”

https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanic_ash ... adios.html

But I don’t know if there’s currently a lot of volcanic ashfall in France, as a result of the volcanic eruption on the Spanish island of La Palma.
Nevertheless, I read that this eruption has caused a huge amount of ash and smoke, and is emitting up to 11 500 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2) per day, according to Involcan.

We would have heard of it, I suppose…

Thank you Anne ... as I said, far fetched ...

Birdie with white feathers on head, please let us know you are ok, Julge darling!

Could it be that transmiter somehow failed?

Yes, it could be so, sometimes it happens.

Yes, theoretically possible, with a south-west wind. La Palma is the small red dot at bottom left of the pic.
