KERLI / KERLI

our Madli (the godmother):
Kerli is a nice Estonian woman's name. The name Kerli means "light" or "gentle." It is a shortened form of name from the name Kertu, which in turn comes from the name Gertrud, which means "protection" or "strongness." Kerli is a lovely and elegant name associated with being gentle and light. https://www.name-days.com/now/name/et_ee/ee/kerli This name matches perfectly with our Kerli's personality and it matches nicely with Kergu.

birdmap description (2024)
A young female Black Stork, which was caught in Pärnumaa County, as part of the Black Stork survey of the Tootsi-Sop wind farm. Survey was ordered by Enefit Green company. It is possible that the same individual visited the black stork Kergu's nest (there is a web camera in the nest) before the capture and installation of the transmitter.
Kerli started its first tracked autumn migration on 2024 July 21.
