Kuremari, young female (data on the birdmap)

Post by marika.solo »

The autumn migration stops in mid-February and the spring migration continues from the following day, the 15th = the bird map is set for spring migration and the new distance measurement starts from 15.02. However, the birdmap is sometimes ready a week or two later.
Our storks appear on the map continuously when they reach areas with GSM coverage after starting their journey north.


in this thread we follow the 2nd spring migration of the (fe)male black stork named KUREMARI (adult - 5 CY, hatched 2021 40 km northeast of Riga)


KUREMARI colour ring number:OXUJ
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 stork with Latvian rings (ringed near Pabažie) was caught by Urmas and equiped with trasnmitter.

Kuremari winters probably again in Ehtiopian highlands (north-eastern Ethiopia) https://www.ciconianigra.sk/viewtopic.p ... 522#p39522
