:hi: Solo,
This is beautiful news about Vedru. After such a long time, it's unbelievable. I'm glad it's fine. :loveshower:

Several Polish black storks also stopped reporting from Egypt in October and November. Maybe there is still little hope here.

Thank you also for all the news about Mare :2thumbsup:

VEDRU we have also new birdmap info :2thumbsup:

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 after tagging again. This might be explained with shortage of food in streams or/and inexperience 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.

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