Spring Birdmap: data from 15 February (autumn birdmap until 14 February). Publication may follow 1–2 weeks later. Storks appear only after reaching GSM coverage during a data session.
In this thread, we’re following the spring migration of KUREMARI, hatched in 2021, an adult female from Latvia.
(we follow Kuremari's 3rd spring migration with transmitter)
I have the numbers of both ornithological and colour rings, but I’ve been asked to handle them with caution, as they can sometimes be misused in false reports.
If you spot a ringed stork in nature, on a streamed nest, or in the media, please contact me via the forum "Private Messages".

Re: KUREMARI (2021, Latvia) - adult female
This stork with Latvian rings was caught by Urmas and equipped with transmitter in Estonia, Haanja NP (https://kaitsealad.ee/en/protected-area ... ature-park) and appeared to the birdmap.
KUREMARI is an interesting choice of name. In direct translation it means Stork's berry and it is a folk name for cranberries. (info by our Madli - thx!)
KUREMARI, 5 CY
(CY = calendar year; birds are aged as the number of calendar years they have lived in, with the year they were born in as the 1st calendar year and increasing past every January 1st.)
Birdmap-description:
Probably a female stork, caught on July 24, 2023 in Võru County. It turned out to be a ringed bird from Latvia. According to Maris Strazds, it was ringed as a nestling in July 2021, 40 km northeast of Riga.

- "NESTING" 2025: ... " we do not know with certainty if Kuremari has visited that nest itself at all – may be just perched near-bye or visited a seemingly very good foraging spot next to. After that she keep hanging around in the same area „keeping” range of 40 km +-. Typical non-breeding bird. May be next year." ... (info by Dr. Strazds)
- "Nesting" 2024: Kuremari explored Latvia
- "Nesting" 2023: Probably did not breed in 2023, but was often with a year-younger Black Stork. (birdmap info)
