Estonian Black Storks Migration 2022-2023 from Birdmap

[asteria]

Karl is in Estonia already and the map doesn't show his location. He is the winner this year.

[Heloise]

Eedi is in Belarus!
Well done, Eedi! What a relief!

Really, it's a great relief!
Thank you, Anne!

[Heloise]

Yes, so good to know, our beloved Karl II is home again
I hope to see him very soon! There is probably a technical problem with the camera, I think. I hope that Urmas is fine.

[Abigyl]

Good Morning!

Karl and EEdi are going back to south. Bad weather?

[Anne7]

Hello everyone

Thank you for the flowers, Heloise!

Good Morning!
Karl and EEdi are going back to south. Bad weather?

Hello Abigyl!
I don't quite understand what you mean...
Where did you see or hear that?

As far as I know, Karl II reached his nest yesterday, April 8th, shortly after noon.
And from Eedi we have (currently) no new birdmap update since April 7 in the evening. He was in Belarus at that moment.

Do you mean the loop Karl II flew over Ukraine? He then briefly returned to his previous location in Moldova for some unknown reason. Maybe bad weather, maybe some kind of disturbance…

And in Turkey, it looked as if Eedi was flying from Adana to Ankara and back. But that was simply an error in the received data.

[asteria]

Karl's location is no longer shown on the birdmap, 'cause he reached his nest.

[Abigyl]

Hello everyone

Hello Abigyl!
I don't quite understand what you mean...
Where did you see or hear that?

This morning, for few hours they showed a change in direction, to the south.
I am a client of Birdmap for more than 10 years and know it very well. If you say they are home, i'm glad and hope it was a mistake.

[Anne7]

April 10th

Good morning

All 4 adult Black storks sent new birdmap data.

Karl II is in Estonia, as we already know.
Eedi is still in his previous area in Belarus.
Timmu and Nurme are in Ukraine.

More information as soon as I have time.

Eedi didn't move a lot. Especially on April 9, in the forest.
I hope he is OK.

Timmu
Previous data:
07.04.2022; Distance: 5348 km (+344 km in 3 days); Timmu sent data on the Svicha River, not far from the Forelʹne Hospodarstvo (a small trout farm), in the village of Myslivka, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, Ukraine

Volodymyr is a small city located in Volyn Oblast, in north-western Ukraine. It is the administrative centre of the Volodymyr-Volynskyi Raion and the center of Volodymyr hromada. The city is the historic centre of the region of Volhynia and the historic capital of the Principality of Volhynia. The city is one of the oldest towns in Ukraine and historical Ruthenia (or Rus).



Timmu flew over Lviv
On April 8 in the evening he reached the village Polyany (Zolochiv Raion, Lviv Oblast), northwest of Lviv. He spent the night in a forest near the Mlynivka River


On April 9 in the evening he reached the village of Mizhlissya. He spent the night in a forest a little west of the village.

Karl II was in the same area (Chernecha park) on April 1st!

Take care, Nurme!





Nurme searched for food in a ditch/canal, and then went to sleep in a tree at the edge of a forest, near a field. That seems to be their favourite environment for the night.

[asteria]

to all!

The wind is from West and North-West in all the regions where the storks are now.

Anne is away today and she asked me to keep an eye on any Birdmap updates
I have checked Eedi, Timmu and Nurme. There have been no further updates since 10.4.2022.

Sorry Anne. More work for you, when you return.

[Anne7]

Thank you, Jo!

No birdmap update today.
So far.

[Anne7]

April 13th



Still no new birdmap update at the moment (12:43)
Last data: 10.04.2022

Maybe later today...

Edit: no update (at 23:00 Estonian time)
Possibly all adult Estonian BS have reached their nest by now.
Let’s see tomorrow…

Good night

Hello!

There has been a birdmap update.

Timmu arrived in Estonia yesterday, April 13

Nurme was yesterday in Belarus, southwest of Lida, not very far from the Lithuanian border.

Eedi is currently in Lithuania, north of the city of Vilnius.
He’s not travelling very fast this year.
