Sova , you're sweet, thinking on the "longsleepers"
Thank you
Woohoo!
More pictures in the nest topic, definitely looks like Karl II, and treats the nest as his own.pazi wrote: ↑April 11th, 2021, 3:01 pm Woohoo!
Off to the nest thread!
Did the eye look like it really is Karl II, or did someone make a positive identification? I know it most likely is, but the tagged stork was caught near this nest last fall, and IF it was not Karl II, it is not completely unlikely that he might check this nest on arrival as well.
Most of them choose to nest roughly in or near what can be called natal place, if I'm not mistaken. So, the places where they were hatched seem to be significant. And they have territories here, I think. I don't know if they are territorial in the south; if they are, the definition/content is probably different. If not home, it's a breeding place here. But which is 'home' and which is 'office', I could not tell One-to-one comparison is probably not applicable.
Aquiline,
That's the scale I meant. Tens and a few hundreds is not much, considering the whole area where a black stork could possibly breed.
- only 1 study, only 32 black storks, only one state
What study is it? Tamas 2012 seems to list similar numbers (mean 140 km, min 0 km, max 421 km), but the number of storks seems to be 67 from certainly more that one country. Anyway, for me, a few hundred kilometers from a hatching place is little, given that the breeding area of black storks is a vast stretch of land from an ocean to another.
Argumentation, yes. But what about discussion?
