Montenegro, Ulcinj Salt Pond


(I sent this news to Urmas and to prof. PZ)

Urmas already answered:

..... theoretically that place in Montenegro can suit for Udu, but on the photo there is some other Black Stork, equipped with Druid transmitter. Several people use this type of transmitters.
Last transmission of Udu I see from Oct 25th, but no actual data. .....

btw. probably the same black stork has been seen also in Albania https://www.facebook.com/groups/5563235 ... 569644589/ - viewtopic.php?p=10794#p10794

It's a pity that it was not possible to find out the number of the ring. But it's great to have a picture of some migrating black stork .

Urmas about Udu:

Udu is in the southern part of Serbia, the nearest city is Niš. Somewhere nearby the city at the top of the hill there is a mobile mast that Udu's transmitter tried to contact. But more precise locations have not come. Hopefully the stork will fly to Africa soon. It's a matter of whether we see it.

Madli, thank you ! Good to know

The behavior of this stork is indeed very unpredictable

wiki says: Niš is located in southern part of Serbia. ... The road running from the North, from Western and Central Europe and Belgrade down to the Morava River valley, forks into two major lines at Niš:
1/ the southern line, leading to Thessalonica and Athens, and
2/ the eastern one leading towards Sofia and Istanbul. ...

I'm curious about Udu's next step: To Greece and our stork stay there somewhere like Skierka in the Kerkini National Park? (or again to Africa via Crete ). Or this year via Istanbul to ... ?
I hope we find out.

Wherever our stork flies - may luck continue to accompany Udu on its travels!
