[Solo]

Never mind. Thanks for the clarification, Solo.

yitmoth you're welcome

pls, about migration here is the right topic/palce, thanx

[Anne7]

i'm sorry, but i have to ask once more:

i've now 3 links for Oru in the google map

• for the 10th and 11th - "oru"
  https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mi ... 545486&z=8
• for only the 12th - "Oru_August12_Complet"
  https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mi ... 999955&z=9
• for the 12th and 13th - "Oru 12.08."
  https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mi ... 40762&z=14

isn't it any more possible to add the old data in the newest map too ?
all data up from the start in 1 map would be great !

oh - comprehension question:
so you can "only" put the data of two days in one map ? right ?
thought i've seen such map(s) of older storks with much more days

Visit

Twice a day the bird sends (via GPRS) all data that its transmitter has collected (via satellite), as well as all info that the built-in sensors of his transmitter collected.
The (by OrniTrack) received raw data is twice a day converted (by three people who have access) into an interactive (clickable) and very detailed tracker map. What interests us in these tracker maps is the current (recent) behaviour of the bird. Where did he sleep? Where did he feed? How fast and how high did he fly? How close did he come to human settlements? How long did he stay in the same place? Is there anything that could indicate that the bird is in trouble? Is the transmitter battery still working properly? Etc...
It is theoretically possible to put all data from the entire migration in 1 tracker map.
But including all these data from all previous days, weeks, months or even years, in each and every new tracker map, would make the tracker maps extremely heavy, and in the long run very unclear.

On birdmap, you can permanently see the complete (but simplified) route (per season) of each tracked bird. Plus the flown distance.
There is a scroll bar on birdmap. There you can see where the bird was on which day, although this info is not 100% accurate.

Oru's route on birdmap, so far:

Please tell me. I did not understand, if you open the map on the links and update them every day, I will not see the movement on them? At the moment I do not see updates on those maps that are already open.

Hello Anne,

and thank you very much for the explanations ! :))

Ah, that's it ! :)
i see. so how many days (or data sets) are you usually putting in one map ?
You seem to have done it for a longer time already and surely have tried out how much is possible or recommended ?

Thanks for the huge work !! :)

It's not possible to "update" an existing link.
Each new tracker map has its own, new link.

Personally, I like to see 1 complete day in a tracker map. It seems to be the easiest to understand and the most uncluttered. The first blue square is the position early in the morning (night), the last dot (the white arrow) is the last known position in the evening.
In some cases, it is of course not possible to show a whole day. Sometimes no new data comes in (= data session on OrniTrack failed). And in a morning update, obviously, we only see the last transmitted position of that morning.

Thanks, Jo!



Little KARULA flew back to the Zafer Airport.
He flew over the runway. Be careful, Karula!

[sova]

Hello everyone

Anne .... Karula's weather data is available
Wish you all a nice evening

It's not possible to "update" an existing link.
Each new tracker map has its own, new link.

That is, every time you need to wait for someone to post an updated link?
But the birdmap can be updated and there will be new lines.

I specifically specify. To stop asking questions like that. TU

Thanks so much

Yes, and patiently

Oh !
so about 365 links per year (instead e.g. 52 links).
ok - now i've touching to understand your system :)

and the links of each storklet are here in this thread ?
only for one year that it won't become a big mixup or how... ?
*have seen Maru etc for example

KARULA

https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Zafer_Airport
"The airport's runway is 3,000 m (9,800 ft) long and 45 m (148 ft) wide. The airport ramp allows parking of five aircraft at the same time."

the wider area - Karula flew over the runway

only for one year that it won't become a big mixup or how... ? *have seen Maru etc for example

1/ here = topic "Following Karl's Family" - informs about inhabitant the nest in Karula NP: Karl's and Katie's nest (now about Karula, storklet hatched 2018 and Oru, storklet hatched 2019 in this nest)

2/ topic "Black Stork Tracks" informs:
- first about storks from Estonia: Raivo (perished), Eedi (alive) and Karl I (perished) also here
- later about storklets from Latvia (also from nest without streaming - nowadays only Mare is still alive)
- not regularly also about tagged storks from Poland (storklets), Hungary (adult male BS), etc. (and/or in thread "Black Stork Nests in Europe")

big mix

hm, ooookeyyyy :))

Thx again ;)

Poliff,
Urmas updates the birdmap. To do that, he also uses the raw data that is received (if all goes well) on OrniTrack. He will do that work at a moment when he has time. So sometimes not every day. For example, if he is abroad, you will have to wait many days.

Jo, Juta and I make the tracker maps. That is not an automated process. It takes quite some work and concentration to create such maps + pictures of the maps + street views. We are volunteers, and neither of us can afford to be permanently available, each and every day. So yes, you will have to wait.
Firstly, until there has been a new successful data session on OrniTrack.
Secondly, until one of us has enough time (and willingness) to create the new tracker maps.

Oh !
so about 365 links per year (instead e.g. 52 links).
ok - now i've touching to understand your system :)
for example

Visit, for the 3 birds together it will be 365 x 3 = 1095 tracker-map-links per year.
And if we make 2 tracker maps per day for each of the three storklets (Karula, Oru and hopefully soon also Aru), it will even become 2190 tracker maps.

Good heavens, now that I calculated it, I am startled by this number ... and the amount of work!

[Jo UK]

Anne, that is a frightening number -1095 tracker maps. Heavens. How much time will that take each day, each week, all year?

Anyway, here is my small (5 minutes) contribution for this evening. I didn't notice how long it took to make Karula's map this afternoon.
