the text on the birdmap is now about Karl = Karl I - previous male on the streamed nest in Karula NP
Last data: 15.07.2022, Distance: 0 km
Karl II is still "at home"
birdmap info:
An adult Black Stork, breeding in webcam nest of Karula National Park since 2019. Karl II owned the nest after the previous male stork Karl died during the spring migration in Syria. In the spring of 2020, the former female stork Kati did not return from her migration, and a young female, whom observers began to call Kaia, appeared belatedly in May. Kaia laid two eggs, but left the hatching unfinished. After the breeding appeared unsuccessful we got a chance to capture Karl II and install a transmitter on him." (Marika: on 21.07.2020)
"... Karl II made a long migration stop on the Black Sea coast between Kherson and the Crimea, and from there flew west around the Black Sea to Africa."

1/ stop-over site:
- 1st: UKRAINE Kherson - Dnipro river; from 05.09 to 19.09 (14 days)
Karl II had flown to his usual stop over area on the Black Sea coast at Perekop Bay by evening September 5th, but the next day he flew away from there, 80 km north to the Dnipro river flood plaines, while checking the feeding places of previous years.
In 6-19 September, Karl II stopped at the floodplains of the Dnipro river, in a militarily sense rather hot place between Kherson and Kahovka.
On September 19th, Karl II went to see if the conditions on the Black Sea coast had calmed down, but turned back to the Dnipro river and from there in morning of September 20th, he flew further to the northwest, looking for suitable feeding places. In two days, without finding a good place to forage, Karl II reached the border of Moldova, in the delta of the Dniester River (by the evening of September 22).(birdmap info)
