Although we can follow Kuremari I am very sad that we dont see anything of Kaia, Kalvi, Metsoja and Waba. :cry:

Where are they? If they are still alive we should see tracking data. Or are they all that late?

Asteria,
I've read at another place (Facebook) that he is back home. He was the first one.

So Timmu is OK now but for some reason he did not send any signals from the end of September till March, for almost six months.

Hello everyone :wave: , thank you for the great work you are doing and for keeping everyone updated. It's so interesting and fascinating to follow these birds as they live their lives. I hope Kaia and the others are well and that we will hear from them soon 🤞🏻🍀🙂

Hi everyone! :hi:

I just had a look at last year's migration, and Waba and Bonus only started moving in the last days of April. So I guess it need not be a bad sign that we haven't yet heard from Kalvi and Metsoja. Maybe also Waba.

Kaia's silence is certainly worrying, though... I had hoped that, just maybe, when the camera went online again, she would sit there and all would be okay. :unsure:

Many thanks @Hulbi Lorm for the months of diligent work with the bird map overviews. :thumbs:

Kuremari seems to be taking all the time she needs. I'm curious to see which area she will actually fly to. :nod:
Freedom!

Thank you, Swenja! :D

I only wish there had been more birds to track this spring. There's still some time for at least some things to turn out better than they seem now, but all in all this season looks depressing so far. :sad:

From 14-04 at 16:51 UTC until 15-04 at 16:17 UTC
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= ... sp=sharing

Battery: 57%
Distance: 26.0 km

Today, Kuremari did not make much progress.
Maybe because the weather was not good? (I haven't checked)
But the battery level dropped from 86% yesterday to 57% today.
Presumably it has been a cloudy and rainy day.

The XYZ graph looks perfectly normal, so there's no reason to worry, I believe

Kuremari is slightly west of Bukcha, a little village in Gomel Region, Belarus

Hi everyone! :hi:

Just to keep our spirits up for the time being, I have looked at last year's Birdmap at this date. Karl II, Nurme and Timmu were home, Kergu and Kaia still on their way, and the young ones (Bonus and Waba) still in Africa.

Let's hope for some positive developments in the coming days. :bow:

Battery: 54%
Distance: 120 km

Today, our Kuremari continued her journey north.
However, she did not travel a very long distance.
The battery level dropped a bit more today. It was quite cloudy and drizzled.

Kuremari reached Salihorsk in the Minsk region of Belarus. She is south of the Salihorskaje Reservoir on the river Sluč.

Salihorsk or Soligorsk (Belarusian: Салігорск, IPA: [salʲiˈɣorsk]; Russian: Солигорск, IPA: [səlʲɪˈɡorsk]) is a city in Minsk Region, Belarus. It serves as the administrative center of Salihorsk District. As of 2024, it has a population of 97,818
Wikipedia

The Sluch or Northern Sluch (Belarusian: Случ, Паўночная Случ; Russian: Случь, Северная Случь; Lithuanian: Slučė, Šiaurinė Slučė; Slovak: Sluč, Severní Sluč) is a river in Belarus. Rising in Minsk Oblast, it flows past the cities of Salihorsk and Slutsk, finally emptying into the Pripyat. It is 228 kilometres (142 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 5,260 square kilometres (2,030 sq mi)
