birdmap-description:
Probably a female stork, caught on July 24, 2023 in Võru County. It turned out to be a ringed bird from Latvia. According to Maris Strazds, it was ringed as a nestling in July 2021, 40 km northeast of Riga. She was seen on May 26, 2023 in Latvian black stork webcam. Probably did not breed in 2023, but was often with a year-younger Black Stork. She did not rush to start her autumn migration, but made several more stops in Estonia, Latvia and Belarus. Longer stop over in Romania, Danube flood plain

KUREMARI is an interesting choice of name. In direct translation it means Stork's berry and it is a folk name for cranberries. (info by our Madli - thx!)
This new stork with Latvian rings was caught by Urmas and equiped with trasnmitter.

Kuremari was in the Latvian nest camera for a moment in the spring (confirmed by Dr. M.Strazds).
Here is info about this stork (and video) in our forum (we don't know if this female moved near the nest also the previous days)

info by Dr. Maris Strazds in Latvian Forum:
Unfortunately, I can't be sure confirm it would be a girl. According to measurements during ringing, it was boy - but it's not 100%, there are about 10-15% errors for gender determined in this way. DNA testing has not yet been done. The bird was the youngest of three chicks in a nest near Pabažie (67.15 km from this nest). The bird is ringed 2021 at about 44 days old on July 4, the bird's age today is 734 days (calendar year 3), it is DEFINITELY a juvenile ("teenager") bird, which "gets to know the living space".
