Estonian Black Storks Migration 2024/25

[Hulbi Lorm]

Hi everyone!

Kuremari has moved on and crossed the border to Egypt, she'll probably be off our radar soon. Kerli and Waba are also on the move, no news from Nurme, and Trauma still oscillates between both sides of the Greek-Turkish border.

Battery: 92 %
Distance: ? km (851 km)

Obviously Kuremari has flown on. I'll see her on the Sinai Peninsula on 5 October. So does the birdmap.

I don't trust the kilometre data. Too much transmitter distraction.




Unfortunately no data for today.

Last data received by GPRS: 2024-10-05 19:54:23 (UTC+3)
Next data session expected: 2024-10-08 19:54:23 (UTC+3)

[Hulbi Lorm]

Hi everyone!

Not that much to report today. Waba has crossed Bulgaria and is now in the north of Türkiye, Trauma has moved on and reached the Asian part of Türkiye. All others sent no new data.

[Hulbi Lorm]

Hi everyone!

Only a short update today - Trauma and Waba are getting close to the end of their journeys across Türkiye.

(I doubt we'll hear of any other bird until spring. I guess they're already all out of transmission range for the time being.)

[Hulbi Lorm]

Hi everyone!

Nothing new to report today. Have a nice weekend!

[Hulbi Lorm]

Hi everyone!

We have news from Waba, who has reached Israel. Nothing from all others. Since we will probably only hear from Waba and (perhaps) Trauma in the coming days, I will keep the updates shorter from now on. You can always go back to this overview for all others, and assume there was nothing new from them, otherwise I will of course mention it. There will be a final update when we can assume that Waba and Trauma have also moved beyond transmission range.

[Hulbi Lorm]

Hi everyone!

No news today!

[Hulbi Lorm]

Hi everyone!

I had to skip my update yesterday, and the forum was down earlier today, but we have news about Trauma and Waba: Waba seems to follow in Kuremari's footsteps, visiting the famous Israeli fish farms. Trauma is already in southern Egypt, near the Nile. I guess it's rather likely that this is our last update from her until spring.

Thank you for all the excellent work, Hulbi!
I'm glad Trauma has finally reported again.

[Hulbi Lorm]

Nothing new today!

@Anne7

[Hulbi Lorm]

Hi everyone!

Again, nothing to report. I guess one more Waba update is the most we can hope for, but it may well already be the end of the autumn migration so far as we can follow it... We'll see in the coming days.

[Hulbi Lorm]

Still no further news.

Have a nice weekend!

[Hulbi Lorm]

Hi everyone!

I guess we've really reached the end of this year's autumn migration, as far as the tracking is concerned.

Should anything pop up in the next days, I will of course post an update. Otherwise, I will post a final summary in a week or so.

Hello everyone

Question: how can this be? I think it's a malfunction of birdmap, right?



EDIT:
I didn't upload my own picture, I haven't even been observing this year.
The request came from a friend from Switzerland incl this pic per whatsapp. I hoped for an answer. But I knew it is in vain.
Luckily, someone outside the forum read it and contacted me. thank you very much!

GPS spoofing is the transmission of interference signals that imitate the NAVSTAR GPS signal. In contrast to GPS jammers, formally valid but incorrect position data is generated and transmitted.

A example:

Hi everyone!

As it seems safe to say now that we won't hear from our birds again until spring, here is a summary of this year's autumn migration. It's a tragedy that we've lost Alvar, but let's hope we'll see all others again. Until then, have a good time!
