The Spring Birdmap starts with data from February 15th and all new distance measurements start on this day. Please note that the birdmap may sometimes be available a week or two later than this date. A stork will only appear on the map when it reaches an area with GSM coverage during a data session.

Re: NURME - adult male, Rapla County
NURME, colour ring number 7153
birdmap description (2021, 2022)
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 n 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.
Nurme visits the nest of his neighbour, Kergu, every season. The only exception is 2025, when both Nurme and Kergu nested.
