[marika.solo]

data arrived

whole day 01.02.2025

Bulgaria: Seltsi/Селци - a village in Sadovo Municipality of Plovdiv Province
(Krum's place of night rest administratively falls under the municipality of Seltsi / Krumovo miesto nočného odpočinku administratívne spadá pod obec Seltsi)

Krum flew from the night roost to his favourite area to the Azmaka stream; at 10h he flew north and was in the field there (10.20-11.30).
Then he flew back south to the Maritsa River and there he flew over its flow to the west and east and at noon (12.10) he continued to new places to the southeast. Krum flew over the road between Milevo and Mirovo near the restored bridge (video) and flew to a nearby field there (12.40). He circled and turned back.
Our young stork also flew over the Maritsa River near the bridge connecting Milevo with Mirovo and near the village of Mirovo (at 13h) he took a course west and continued to Azmaka stream near Chalakovi (arrival 13.50h). For night resting he flew to the Maritsa River there.

Krum odletel z nocoviska do svojej obľúbenej oblasti k potoku Azmaka; o 10h letel na sever a bol tam na poli (10.20-11.30).
Potom odletel späť na juh k rieke Maritsa a tam sa preletel ponad jej tok na západ aj na východ a na poludnie (12.10) pokračoval do nových miest smerom na juhovýchod. Krum preletel ponad cestu medzi Milevom a Mirovom pri obnovenom moste (video) a zaletel tam na neďaleké pole (12.40). Zakrúžil a otočil sa späť.
Náš mladý bocian preletel aj ponad rieku Maritsa pri moste spájajúcom Milevo s Mirovom a pri obci Mirovo (o 13h) nabral kurz na západ a pokračoval k potoku Azmaka pri Chalakovi (príchod 13.50h). Na nočný odpočinok odletel k rieke Maritsa.
