TIMMU, adult male from Pärnu county

Post by marika.solo »

in this thread we follow male TIMMU from Pärnu county (third season)

TIMMU, adult male from Pärnu county
https://birdmap.5dvision.ee/EN/2022/aut ... =0&speed=1

ring number 704X

birdmap info:
Adult black stork from Pärnu county, Estonia. Caught in the beginning of August 2020, on the old wood rafting channel Timmkanal, after which he was named. We only found out about Timmu's nest in the next year, because in 2020 he had no brood. After his capture and installation of the transmitter, Timmu stayed at the release point for several days probably due to stress and did not want to fly. But when he started flying, he went on migration on August 17, 2020. ...

season 2022: Timmu was alone this year. In spring he even flew to Latvia to search for a mate and spent time waiting in 5 different nests. (thx Madli)
season 2021: Timmu raised 2 chicks (thx Madli)
season 2020: no brood

some informations to autumn migration and wintering area viewtopic.php?p=9964#p9964

AUTUMN MIGRATION 2022
Timmu and Nurme started migration on the same day and found eachother and flew together for a day. (thx Madli)

0/ migration started 12.08 (? - the toolbar is not very reliable)
edit: 29.07 Nurme came from north and Timmu was already soaring between Kilingi-Nõmme and Jäärja. They started flying together at 13.05. The next day, 30.07 their paths separated about at 17.10 in southern Belarus. Nurme went forward, Timmu stayed at familiar fish ponds. (thx Madli :-) )
- first birdmap update: 14.08.2022, Distance: 1003 km (Belarus, Malyeshaw)

1/ stop-over site: Pripyat wetlands (Belarus, north from Malyeshaw)
- from 04.08 (maybe) to 05.09, approx. 32 days
- thx Madli for data

2/ 05.09 migration continued
- 05.09 Ukraine, 06.09 Romania, 07.09 Bulgaria, 08.09 Turkey (Thracia)

3/ 09.09 crossing the Sea of Marmara (direction: Marmara and Erdek Islands)
- 10., 11.09 Turkey

4/ 12.09 crossing the Gulf of Iskenderun (no data, 13.09 already Israel, Gesher)
- 13.09 Israel (over Syria and Palestine)

5/ 15.09 crossing the Gulf of Suez (most probably - no new data from 13.09 to 21.09)
- update on 21.09: data: 16.09 (Egypt already)

6/ 16.09 AFRICA, Egypt, east from Aswan (update on 21.09)
- update on 22.09: data 19.09 Sudan (parallel with Erithrea), new data on 21.09 (wintering area)

7/ 21.09 wintering area: Wudi Gemzu - settlement in Metema woreda, North Gondar Zone in Amhara Region of Ethiopia
- update on 24.09: data 21.09 ETHIOPIA: Wudi Gemzu (wintering area)
- arrival approx. after 40 days (most probably)

last update on 10.10 - data 08.10
In previous years, we received data relatively regularly. The situation worsened last year. I hope that both Timmu and the transmitter are fine and the "silence" is only due to the changed situation in the region.

27.12.2022: Timmu occasionally sends data from his wintering area, but it's not on the birdmap (Urmas via Madli)

The Pripyat or Prypiat is a river in Eastern Europe, approximately 761 km (473 mi) long.[1] It flows east through Ukraine, Belarus, and Ukraine again, draining into the Dnieper.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pripyat_(river)

Timmu's area is within the borders of the Pripyatsky National Park and other wetlands.

Pripyatsky National Park or Pripyat National Park is a natural reserve in Gomel Region, Belarus. It was founded in 1996 for preservation of natural landscapes around the Pripyat River from which it takes its name. Much of the park's area is occupied by turf swamps.
