PIKNE (birdmap info)

Juvenile Black Stork, hatched as second chick in the brood same day as oldest chick (28 May). Also first, maiden flight out of nest they made same day (4 Aug) with oldest sibling named Udu, being 68 days old. But unlike the younger and older sibling, Pikne was in no hurry to migrate and allowed the father Karl II to feed for another three days (sometimes too much provided) and waited for a favourable moment.

On the morning of August 20, such a suitable time had probably arrived, and Pikne headed south without major mistakes. The first longer stop was made on August 23 - September 2 in Ukraine, from September 6 Pikne stops in Moldova and sometimes also flies in Romania. From the end of September, (s)he will stop at the Danube plains in Romania for more than two weeks, and on 13 October (s)he will continue its migration to Africa.

When it arrives in Africa on October 24, Pikne will disappear and all interim data will not be available until the beginning of June. Based on this, Pikne reached the wintering place in northern Ethiopia on October 31. The adventure there for a month, and then on December 1, it flew south-east to the eastern edge of the Rift Valley, where it spent the rest of the winter and spring. In May 24, Pikne left the wintering area and started migrating north. On June 1, more than seven months of data arrived in Israel.

....
Pikne continued to her/his summer destination from Israel, via Syria to Turkey. The last data arrived from the area the villages Büyükayhan - Küçükayhan. Pikne searched for food in the water reservoir named Ayhanlar Dam (Ayhanlar Barajı) and than continued to the west, probably for night resting. It seems on the map (s)he perished due collision with electricity wire. Pikne's spring migration ended exactly 14 days later.

autumn migration: 10513 km (from 20.08.2021 to 14.02.2022)
spring migration: 5680 km (from 15.02 to 07.06.2022)

according to birdmap data Pikne flew 16,193 km

JUNE 13

I addressed Mr. Fikret Can (patron saint of storks in Turkey) asking for help in finding Pikne and the transmitter (in agreement with Urmas)

I received this message today:
"Sevgili Marika

Selamlar,sevgiler."

GT:
Dear Marika

Thank you for the images of the real-time scenery. But i'm afraid we have lost Pikne for good now.. :cry:

Interesting that the transmitter doesn't give any info anymore. It was probably broken or damaged on the same spot where last data was received...

Big thanks for everybody for the effort.
