Unfortunately, the bird died. That's sad. But it's part of the wilderness.

Unfortunately, only 25% of first year storks survive their first year migration and only 20% live up to three years. But storklets from the nests where parents don't kill the chicks do have the higher chance.

I was watching the flight pattern daily hoping ARU would make his/her migration. Sadly found out it did not. All my focus is on ORU and his migration. Hopefully we will have a winner in this one. I am heart broken over ARU since it had so many problems and was a fighter. He is soaring high now with no transmitter or bad wing. Rip Aru you are missed.

It is sad that both Aru and Oru seem to have come to a sad end. Many of us have been following them from the eggs for so many months. Pirkko

Have to repost my message from "Migration maps topic" here:

It is not possible to prevent death of migrating birds, but is it possible to add small fish in the ponds and brooks where the storks are fishing, or just bring food in their nest? I am thinking of those three storklets from Eedi's nest died from hunger. I am not less sorry about them because they were "out of cam view" and we never seen them. Is it possible to take one egg away from Kati's nest, because she always gets rid of one chick? Is it possible to scare the hawk away(if you remember Dab nest, hawks appear there every season, the same will happen in Karula)? When the answers are "no", the situation will only change to worse.

asteria, i'm afraid it's like that. unfortunately the answers will stay in future like this as they are now: no, no, no..
And yes: the situation will only change to worse. (There)
But there are positive news:
return of BS into regions were they were almost gone.

...moment please i search the report...

edit: 2017
https://www.lwf.bayern.de/mam/cms04/bio ... storch.pdf

ups, only in german

...more BS than experts initially thought.

Quote: Nevertheless, there were still many observations that suggested that the number of breeding pairs should be higher.
- From 2009 to today, 54 young storks were ringed in the Franconian Forest, with some exciting refind messages. It was also Rohde with his expert eye, who confirmed the suspicion of the local black stalkers: There are many more black storks here than previously known.

Like raising up some zoos ?
Instead of reducing the own demands and luxury and making the environment more natural and for the birds survivable again ?

Interference because of not being able to cope with the confrontation with the results of the bad human influence (environmental pollution, overfelling and predatory exploitation of nature) ?
Instead of stopping the exploitation and pollution and becoming active in the environmental protection ?

Discrimination of some animal species you don't like ?

you have strange thoughts to see and solve the problems and I miss a basic comprehension for the nature and the natural laws, for the ecological balance and the necessary conditions for that.
that is a little like to put the cart before the horse.

Yes, Biker,
I live on the fringes of the Franconian Forest and often see black storks fly past near my house in the valley by the river

Sure my thoughts are wrong. The rightest thing is to repeat the famous mantra "It'snaturenatureistough" again and again and do nothing!

asteria, yes as with me too - too fast over. and the first time I did not have a camera yet. But that was sensational even without a photo.
I can not find anything wrong about your thoughts. perhaps i would not act that way if i have the possibility, i don't know. But for me these are in a special way also understandable thoughts.

If you had read my posting more attentive, then you would have recognized that i had nothing written like your "again and again and do nothing!"
There are many possibilities to do something !
They are only much more unconvenient...

Imagine today is not October, 22 but April, 22, six months earlier or later. Karl2, Kati and four eggs in the nest. You know what is going to happen. What would you do to change the situation to the best?
