The stork parents Florentino and Fermina II brought out three young storks (FLOREK, FREZJA a FELEK). They were all equipped with a transmitter. Siblings started their first migration: Frezja and Felek on August 7, 2021 and Florek on August 14, 2021.
Unfortunately Felek perished in Romania (predation).
Florek sent last data on 12.10.2021 (viewtopic.php?p=329#p329)

Dangerous migrations of black storks from the forests of RDSF in Łódź
, stopped to rest⛱ immediately after crossing the Sahara, others flew on ...
One stork from the Złoczew State Forests Forest Inspectorate of 2021 (loger 8335) from the nest flew straight to the north. First, he spent a few days near Gniezno, and then went towards the Polish-Ukrainian border. On the way he spent the night on the San near Rudnik on the San and left Poland to Ukraine after Przemyśl. He only stayed there for a few hours. He returned to Poland near Lutowiska and flew across the Bieszczady Mountains. So on the same day (August 12, 2021) he left Poland, came back and left it again. He flew over Krzemieniec, i.e. he saw the border tripoint (Poland / Slovakia / Ukraine) in advance and spent the night in Slovakia
.
) on the Tisza River on the Ukrainian-Romanian border. The further route was standard - through the Sea of Marmara, Turkey and the Middle East to Africa. After five days of flying through the Sahara desert, he reached northern Ethiopia, where Frezija is currently wintering from its nest on the oak tree. But he didn't stop there, but took a roundabout route to Somalia and from Somalia to central Kenya. There he was feeding in irrigation canals in agricultural areas, but unfortunately something happened and the logger of our stork from the Złoczew Forest District has been inactive since October 22, 2021
. This stork travelled 8288 km
from the exit from the nest. He ended his African adventure 32 km from the eastern shore of Lake Victoria. It is the southernmost wintering place of our storks ...
. They will do this much later than adult birds.
