to all!
Karl II had better wind than Eedi, Nurme and Timmu. This week they all had to fly with North-Eastern wind and only today the wind blows from the South.

Yes, maybe, Asteriaasteria wrote: ↑April 15th, 2022, 7:33 pm Eedi probably came to see K&K in their nest today at 10.37, but they were not too glad to see him.
I have read that on Karl II’s topic too.
It was announced on the YouTube chat, apparently.
I’m not on the chat.
But there hasn’t been a new birdmap update so far. (20:30 Estonian time)
The last shown data on birdmap are still: yesterday 14.10 in the morning, location: north of Vilnius in Lithuania
So how can someone on the YouTube chat (who was it?) know that Eedi came finally home today?
And more specifically, how can someone know where exactly Eedi flew at a certain time?
And also know the location of Karl II’s nest?
Only Urmas - and probably also a few other Kotkaklubi members - have access to Eedi’s transmitter data, as far as I know.
Eedi’s exact locations within Karula National Park will not be shown publicly.

There has been a birdmap update.
Eedi reached Estonia.
Nurme is at the border between Lithuania and Latvia.
More information tomorrow. It’s too late for me now.

Good morning
Great, Eedi has gotten home too!
Little wish: It would be nice to see, for example, a small camera photo of the home nests (without location) of Eedi, Nurme and Timmu ... would that be possible at all?

So the latest locations of Timmu and Eedi are not shown on the map now, because they reached their nest places?

Perhaps Kotkaklubi has some photos.
Most likely, Asteria
Birdmap says: "During breeding time no locations shown on public map"
Eedi
Previous data:
14.04.2022 (morning?); Distance: 6398 km (+266 km in 4 days); Eedi sent data slightly north of the village of Glitiškės, Vilnius district, Lithuania
New data
15.04.2022; Distance: 6724 km (+326 km in 1 day); Eedi sent data near Karula National Park, Estonia
Our Eedi is home!
Last shown location point: in flight towards Karula National Park.

We didn’t have a recent birdmap update so far
Most probably Nurme is in Estonia too by now.
He may have reached his nest yesterday or maybe even the day before yesterday.
Thanks again for the announcement, Jo!
That’s very interesting!

We received a birdmap update for Nurme!
In fact, I don’t know when. I forgot to take a look at it.
Nurme
17.04.2022
/“Nurme arrived to the breeding area, during breeding time locations will be not public.”
Last data: 17.04.2022; Distance: 6631 km
All 4 adult BS came home safely.

AUTUMN MIGRATION 2022
Bidmap has been set to autumn migration!
Thank you Urmas!
https://birdmap.5dvision.ee/index.php?lang=en
August 16th 2022
For the moment 6 adult Estonian Black Storks are listed on birdmap.
That list will later probably be completed with some juveniles. (Waba, Bonus, ...)
Udu is currently in northern Italy, but not yet included in the birdmap.
We will need some assistance to make the birdmap updates for so many BS !
Is there anyone willing to help? That would be really great!
Did Timmu and Nurme fly (quite a distance) together? From the border with Latvia to southern Belarus, their routes precisely match.

Eedi
Birdmap information:
Most probably male Black Stork (white ring with black code 712W on left leg). His foraging sites and breeding site are situated in southern Estonia, close to Latvian border, in Karula National Park. For trapping of Eedi it was needed one and half months (look the photo gallery of Eedi) and finally we succeed in 1st of September 2015, when most of Black Storks already left for migration, for example other Black Stork named Raivo has been for that time already several days in wintering site. For success of trapping we need to thank colleague Ain for his patience in trapping and Latvian colleague Janis for the new system of trapping nets we finally used with success. Because of late catching date we did not see the breeding place of Eedi, but need to hope for return of the bird in spring. So he breeds in Karula National Park.
Eedi started migration in 9th of September 2015. Eedis "task" is to provide us the information about his feeding sites, because during last years in Karula NP the breeding success of Black Storks was remarkable higher as in general in Estonia and we want to know the reasons for that. In the future we try to find possibilities for to follow also some juvenile storks from Karula NP. Also we can test success of some actions, like camps for restoration of Black Stork feeding sites with help of Eedi and others storks with transmitters. So Eedi visited the improved stream most among other sites.
In 2016 Eedi started migration much earlier as last year, already in 12th of August. That is caused probably of earlier breeding this year. Eedi found easily the places we wanted to trap some other Black Storks for tagging and ate fish in traps...
Eedi flew to Latvia but returned to Estonia.
He is currently south-east of Valga near the Gauja river, on the border between Estonia and Latvia
