In previous season 2021 - 2022 we don't have new data long time too.
- last autumn birdmap update: (06.10.2021) viewtopic.php?p=89#p89
- the newest data before spring migration started (birdmap update 28.03, data 15.03): viewtopic.php?p=1334#p1334

We have to be patient and keep our fingers crossed.

birdmap info

Adult Black Stork whos territory is situated in west-central Estonia. He used artificial nest, refreshed it in spring, but did not find female to produce brood in 2021. Started autumn migration in 2nd Aug, in 8 Aug reached stopover place in Ukraine. Wintering site in southern Sudan reached by mid October and second half of wintering in Ehtiopian highlands.

In breeding season 2022 n Nurme visited several nests in a fairly large territory. In one of such Nurme was captured by the trail camera together with a ringed female (V702) from Lithuania (ringed in 2020). Autumn migration started at the end of July. Nurme migrated up to the southern part of Belarus together with another monitored black stork from Pärnu County (Timmu). In Africa, the connection with Nurme was lost, as is common there.
