Waba's path-line on 01.11


the newest lines are in the area of irrigated fields to the east from Osly


the more dangerous are the local electricity lines; storks often use for night resting the el. poles for night resting in the areas without available and/or suitable trees

Thank you Marika for the link to the article. It's unbelievable how many birds die because of it and how little is enough . The EC could propose and approve something good at least once.

I also saw some palm trees there, so I hope Waba spends the night on one of them .

Waba searched for food in the Nile and the nearby area: stork flew to the north (irrigation canal) and to the south for night resting on one el. pole. Today continued exploring the river area and mostly the nearby irrigated fields.
(Adriána, palm trees are not suitable for black storks.)

the dangerous night resting place


EDIT (I found it )

most of the lines are on the fields with melioration canals
