Karl was in the nest for the last time yesterday at 17.15. He left in a hurry.
His transmitters data session failed.

Urmas wrote this:
Next data about Karl II scheduled today evening. No idea, why last transmission failed. There in feeding territory are some places without of GSM network, but rarely it really was the case in past. It affected more neighbor Eedi (with older type of transmitter).
Can imagine, if stork is during transmission time in some low place, e.g. channel or stream between hills to search for food, there may be no network.

Please come home soon, Karl :|
