in this thread we follow TIMMU, adult male from Pärnu county (we follow his 3rd autumn-winter migration)
TIMMU colour ring number: 704X
data source: https://birdmap.5dvision.ee/EN/2023/aut ... =0&speed=1
birdmapdescription:
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 migration on August 17, 2020. Timmu made a stop in the southern part of Belarus on August 21, where he spent almost a month. Timmu then flew for two weeks without longer stop overs to winter in Ethiopia, near the Sudanese border. Timmu reached wintering site in October 2nd. He has a wintering area of about 160 square kilometers.
During the spring migration (March 2nd - April 15th), Timmu did not make any long migration stops.
Breeding in 2021 was successful with two chicks fledged. Timmu also reached the same wintering place in 2021, but made two stops during the autumn migration, in southern Belarus and Romania. In time he started wintering in 2021, Ethiopia did not have as good a mobile network as a year earlier. Sometimes we had to wait a long time for data. Maybe it was caused by the conflict between Sudan and Ethiopia?

Re: TIMMU, adult male from Pärnu county
Hello
Timmu started to move to south on 21.08.2023
He visited the fish basket, had a good meal and around at 15h he began his journey...
21.08 Timmu is in Latvia
First night resting place.
The image is very dark, but hopefully enough understandable
Safe journey and fingers crossed!
By the way- I haven't got any information about Timmu's only chick. Was the chick already independent and left the nest? Did Timmu stop feeding the chick and just left? These questions will be unanswered at the end of this season
