20.10.2023 VIDEO - black stork hunting, but what https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1002908780769356
Nese doni me dite se kush jemi NE "rraca njerezore" atehere vetem shikojeni kete video, dhe do duhet te na vie turp nga vetja. Lumenjte e Kosoves dhe Kafshet e Egera. Edhe mos te ju vieq keq me shpernda, mesojeni realitetin.

If you want to know who WE are as a "human race", then just watch this video, and you should be ashamed of yourself. Rivers of Kosovo and wild animals. Even if you don't feel bad about it, learn the reality.

Things are good! It's slowly but surely going away.

"Hi everyone ...
Sadly we have to say that we have lost our gps contact from Mareci from 16'th November at 15:00 ...
If someone have possibility to contact someone in Sudan just to know the truth about him we would be thankful ...
With respect Wildlife Albanian Photographers team on this project
Arian Mavriqi, Qenan Maxhuni, Sefer Susuri, Lulzim Demaj"



I contacted today morning one ornithologist and the FB group Birding Sudan (thx for hint to Mirjana Misevic).
The birders from this FB group are interested.

I hope Mareci is still alive and is only out from the GSM coverage area. Fingers crossed very, very much!

With great joy, the Wildlife Albanian Photographers team announces that today we received the GPS signal from our black stork named Mareci... It is located in the surroundings of Almansora and the Kashm el Girba water reserve...
Thank you to everyone who is newsworthy, especially Maria Marika, who is engaged in this case ...
