the autumn birdmap starts with data from August 15
The spring/summer migration stops in mid-August and the autumn/winter migration continues from the following day, the 15th = the bird map is set for autumn/winter migration and the new distance measurement starts from 15.08. However, the birdmap is sometimes ready a week or two later.
in this thread we follow UKU (hatched 2019) adult bird from Latvia (we follow Jani's 1st autumn-winter migration with trasmitter)
UKU colour ring number: - 7 CY
(CY = calendar year; birds are aged as the number of calendar years they have lived in, with the year they were born in as the 1st calendar year and increasing past every January 1st.)

10.07.2025 by Madli:
Urmas caught a new male stork from Viljandi county, he was named Uku and was wearing a metal ring. Ringed as pullus in 2019 by Urmas in SE Estonia.
next info
Uku hatched in 2019 and is an individual ringed by Urmas himself, who has lost his plastic ring in the meantime. Urmas himself will put it on the migration map someday and also add other information and pictures.
UKU (2019, adult male) - Viljandi county
