whole day 14.01.2025

Bulgaria: Seltsi/Селци - a village in Sadovo Municipality of Plovdiv Province
(Krum's place of night rest administratively falls under the municipality of Seltsi / Krumovo miesto nočného odpočinku administratívne spadá pod obec Seltsi)

Due to the night frost, Krum apparently flew to the Azmaka River at 7h (UTC), or rather, data is missing. From there, he continued after 10h to the most frequently visited place between Serebra and Azmaka rivers (to the rice fields with irrigation canals). At 15h he flew to his overnight spot. At first, his location is close to the south near the Maritsa River, but also on 14.01. sometime between 15.08 and 18h, Krum flew to spend the night westward to Chalakovi - the Maritsa River again. (We do not know the flight route, we do not have data from that time.)

Krum kvôli nočnému mrazu odletel k riečke Azmaka zdá sa až o 7h, resp. chýbajú údaje. Odtiaľ pokračoval po 10h (UTC) na najčastejšie vyhľadávané miesto medzi riečkami Serebrou a Azmakou (ryžové polia so zavlažovacími kanálmi). O 15h odletel na nocovisko. Najprv je jeho lokalizácia pri rieke Maritsa blízko smerom na juh, ale aj 14.01. niekedy medzi 15.08 a 18h odletel nocovať smerom na západ ku Chalakovi, rieke Maritsa. (Trasu letu nepoznáme, nemáme údaje z toho času.)

- the night roosts near Maritsa there belong to the Maritsa-Parvomay - IBA (Important Bird Area) - more info, short video in this post: https://www.ciconianigra.sk/viewtopic.p ... 322#p40322
- nocoviská pri reke Marica v tej oblasti patria do IBA kategórie ( významné vtáčie územie) - viac informácií aj krátke video tu: https://www.ciconianigra.sk/viewtopic.p ... 322#p40322

locations/lines on the map are still in two days / stále sú na mape lokalizácie/čiary za dva dni

situation at 10h UTC

- Krum moved in the morning from his night roost not far to the NE - directly to his favourite feeding area (and resting place)
- Krum sa ráno presunul zo svojho nočného úkrytu len neďaleko na SV - priamo na svoje obľúbené miesto, kde loví potravu (a oddychuje)



- departure: 6.50 UTC; the locations are only in a 30 x 30 cm area - I hope Krum is okay (most probably he is in "energy saving" mode because it is cold there)
- prílet: 6.50 UTC; lokalizácie sú v priestore len 30 x 30 cm - dúfam, že je Krum v poriadku (pravdepodobne je v režime "úspory energie", pretože je tam zima)



WEATHER right now
Now it's 12:58. - 1°C Cloudy - It feels like 1° (GT translation)
