Following Karls' Families

[Heloise]

I think Pikne and Udu have telepathic communication.
Udu is also travelling on!

So cool!
Many thanks, Anne!

Sleep well, everyone

Anne, Heloise, Hellem and everyone,

very nice, PIKNE and UDU, after their breaks for refreshment, started their journey again and now it seems clear, UDU takes as well the eastern route.
PIKNE exactly follows in the "footsteps" of the experienced EEDI and TIMMU

[Heloise]

Hello!
Many thanks, Anne!
This birdmap overview is my favorite!

Balistar

It seems exactly the same to me!
Udu hesitated, but finally decided to choose that direction.
But... we don't know yet... maybe s/he'll change her/his/mind

Yes, "uncle Eedi" shows the way
Pikne and Udu, they were just learning to fly... and they fly 200 km in 1 day! Amazing birds like planes!

I think Karl II will leave Ukraine soon, although he has a habit of staying there for a long time.

[Poliff]

Many thanks to Anne7, Juta, Helemm, for trackers and photos of places!

Don't you think it's strange that Karl2 stays in one place for too long, making only 19-21km flights a day? I was in this place a few years ago.
There is a salty estuary nearby. In this estuary, yes, there are a lot of fish, at least there was once. But fields cut by many field roads lead to the estuaries.
Think about it, maybe the tracker has been driving for a long time in someone's open car body? There, fishermen go to the estuary every day to check their nets.

Hello everyone

Heloise

Hi Poliff, i wouldn't worry, Karl II seems to know and like this area. Last year he was equipped with a transmitter and we saw him having a longer rest in this area (red line in picture).
On some Black Storks we could see that they prefer certain stopovers, i suppose this is one of Karl II preferred ones.
Like Heloise, i also believe that he will leave soon and continue his journey to winter quarters.

...

Poliff .... the Karl II not only sends flight data. Anne, Juta, Jo or even Mr. Urmas see Karl's II movements (tendencies) ... while walking, eating .... besides, you can see Karl's temperature
Anne can explain that better ...

Hello Poliff

Thank you for the photos of Karl II's wide area.

Poliff, as Balistar and Sova said, there is no reason to worry.
Karl II's transmitter is not in some car.
We can see from the X-Y-Z graphs in OrniTrack if the bird's posture (movements) is normal.
Karl II's graph shows very regular values and no abnormalities, as you can see below.



If a bird is dead or the transmitter is in an unnatural position, it is quickly obvious from the X-Y-Z accelerometer graphs. And the transmitter temperature will drop (taking the ambient temperature).

Here is a little explanation of what X, Y and Z stand for.
This very helpful video animation is about Roll - Pitch - Yaw

To make it easier to understand, I have (below) adjusted the colours of the video to the OrniTrack graph colours



Last autumn, Karl II was also making such systematic trips back and forth, at the Black Sea for a long time.
It is just a well organised bird who likes routine.

In 2020, he left that area on October 5th

Anne , excellent explanation and display of the X-Y-Z accelerometer graphs. Thank you

[Heloise]

Hello again!

Thanks a lot, Anne!

Balistar, sova, thanks for your comments!

...

Yes!
I think exactly the same!

[Poliff]

Thank you guys very much. I calmed down!

Final location omitted.

Udu crossed Slovakia today.
S/he is close to the Hungarian border.
Today, Udu flew 218 km.

Please don't fly to the Mediterranean Sea in Greece, little Udu!





Udu is a little south-east of Ardovo, in Slovakia.

Ardovo is a village and municipality in the Rožňava District in the Košice Region of eastern Slovakia.

Good evening.

Yes, of course, Hellem!
I corrected it. Thank you, also for the birdmap update!

Udu, still in flight:


Good night, everyone.
