A stork will only appear on the map when it reaches an area with GSM coverage during a data session.
Please note that the birdmap may sometimes be available a week or two later than this date.
In this thread we follow Kuremari (hatched 2021) adult female from Latvia (we follow Kuremari's 3rd spring migration with transmitter).
This stork with Latvian rings was caught by Urmas and equipped with transmitter in Estonia, Haanja NP (https://kaitsealad.ee/en/protected-area ... ature-park) and appeared to the birdmap.
KUREMARI is an interesting choice of name. In direct translation it means Stork's berry and it is a folk name for cranberries. (info by our Madli - thx!)
KUREMARI, Cnig 24, colour ring number:OXUJ - 5 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.)

- "NESTING" 2025: ... " we do not know with certainty if Kuremari has visited that nest itself at all – may be just perched near-bye or visited a seemingly very good foraging spot next to. After that she keep hanging around in the same area „keeping” range of 40 km +-. Typical non-breeding bird. May be next year." ... (info by Dr. Strazds)
- "Nesting" 2024: Kuremari explored Latvia
- "Nesting" 2023: Probably did not breed in 2023, but was often with a year-younger Black Stork. (birdmap info)
