Nurme (adult male, Rapla county)

[marika.solo]

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 adult male named NURME from Rapla County in west-central Estonia (we follow Nurme's 4th autumn-winter migration with trasmitter)

NURME, colour ring number 7153

data source:
https://birdmap.5dvision.ee/EN/2024/aut ... =0&speed=1

birdmap info 2022/2023:
Adult Black Stork whos territory is situated in west-central Estonia. He used artificial nest, refreshed it in spring, but did not find female to produce brood in 2021. Started autumn migration in 2nd Aug, in 8 Aug reached stopover place in Ukraine. Wintering site in southern Sudan reached by mid October and second half of wintering in Ehtiopian highlands.
In breeding season 2022 Nurme visited several nests in a fairly large territory. In one of such Nurme was captured by the trail camera together with a ringed female (V702) from Lithuania (ringed in 2020). Autumn migration started at the end of July. Nurme migrated up to the southern part of Belarus together with another monitored black stork from Pärnu County (Timmu). In Africa, the connection with Nurme was lost, as is common there.

Btw. this female was captured with our Skierka and other black storks wintering in Greece:
Greek ornithologist Kostas Papadopoulos read her by the Struma river (near Kerkini NP, Greece) - February 2022. She was ringed in June 2020 as a chick in the north of Lithuania by Darius Norkunas. Interestingly, in spring 2022 (3CY) she flew almost 300 km away from her origin on N to central Estonia (see the photo).
