GRZEGORZ

we don't have more precise information about where Grgeroz is moving (Stefan and Grzegorz OK, refueling, one near Bledzew the other near Kostrzyn.)

thx for hint to Iwona - the photos were from another place, I'll try to look from the right one

Kostrzyn - a town in Poland, seat of Gmina Kostrzyn in the Poznań County in the Greater Poland Voivodeship

we don't know exactly where GRZEGORZ looks for food - whether in forest streams or in the shallows of lakes (or on the freshly plowed fields, etc.)

Hello everyone!

News about: GRZEGORZ and STEFAN

"​Dzień dobry, wszystko OK, Stefan w Niemczech stacjonuje na stawach, Grzegorz ostatnio pod Bełchatowem i dziś leci dalej na E. Miłego dnia!
​Wszystko jest ok, ostatnio wiało i padało więc ptaki trochę stanęły 🙂"

Translation:
Hello! Everything OK, Stefan in Germany stationed on the ponds, Grzegorz recently near Belchatów and today he starts flying further to East. Have a great day!
Everything is ok, it has been windy and raining lately so the birds have been a bit stagnant 🙂

Further information:

GRZEGORZ
Previous location: POLAND, Kostrzyn
Current location: POLAND, Bełchatów
STEFAN
Previous location: POLAND, Bledzew
Current location: GERMANY

So it seems that Grzegorz chose the eastern and Stefan western route of migration. So far Grzegorz has flown a route of about 300 km. We don't have more precise information about Stefan's route - he is currently in Germany.

Approximate route of Grzegorz (he has been recently near Belchatów):

Hi Iwona, thx for update :-)

Everything is still open. Storks from Poland use both directions, the western and eastern migration routes/flyways. We have seen this also on the map during the BocianiMy project.
Skierka flew the eastern route for the first year, but only to the north of Saudi Arabia. The next years she flies to winter in Kerkini Lake NP area - Ramsar Site (Greece).

Hi, I have been dealing with nature photography for several years, I regularly post photos on my instagram profile and on facebook. The subjects of my photos are mainly birds and insects. In order to further develop my passion, I need to replace worn out equipment with newer ones. Thanks in advance for your support!!

"W Brandenburgii bocian Stefan nie jest sam!
Nasze drogi skrzyżowały się na moment ze szlakiem migracji jednego z czterech bocianów czarnych z #NadeśnictwaBolewice. Nasz bocian od ponad tygodnia za miejsce postojowe wybrał sobie Łąki i Stawy #Eulo i #Jamno w obszarze ochrony krajobrazu w Niemczech. Okazało się, że Stefan przebywa nie tylko w towarzystwie innych bocianów czarnych (5 dorosłych i 2 młodocianych), ale też kilkunastu czapli białych i czapli siwych oraz ku naszemu zaskoczeniu: młodocianego bielika i kani czarnej! Ptaki najczęściej siedzą na stawie ze spuszczoną wodą, żerują na płyciznach oraz w rowach, nocują niedaleko na suchych starych drzewach przy ciekach w okolicznych lasach. Obecność innych bocianów czarnych, zwłaszcza aż 5 dorosłych to bardzo dobra informacja, że Stefan jest pod dobrą opieką. Nadal wielką zagadką pozostaje w jakim kierunku teraz poleci? Czy szlakiem wschodnim, czy zachodnim?"


Translation:
In Brandenburg, the storklet Stefan is not alone!
Our paths crossed for a moment with the migration path of one of the four black storklets from #Bolewice. For more than a week, our storklet has chosen the Meadows and Ponds of #Eulo and #Jamno in the German Landscape Conservation Area as his stopping place. It turned out that Stefan is not only in the company of other black storks (5 adults and 2 juveniles), but also several white herons and gray herons, and to our surprise: a juvenile white-tailed eagle and a black kite! The birds mostly sit on the pond with the water drained, feed in the shallows and ditches, and spend the night nearby on dry old trees near the watercourses in the surrounding woods. The presence of other black storks, especially as many as 5 adults, is a very good indication that Stefan is well taken care of. Still the big mystery remains in what direction will he fly now? Will he take the eastern or western route?

As BocianiMy pointed out Stefan visited Kostrzyn nad Odrą area on his way west. There are several other valuable and legally protected forms of nature conservation in the area (and within the city). These include the "Mouth of the Warta River" National Park and the Landscape Park "Mouth of the Warta River". The park was established to protect unique wetlands, extensive meadows and pastures, which are one of Poland's most important sanctuaries for water and marsh birds. 245 species of birds have been found in the park, including 174 breeding birds.
