WALLI

birdmap description: (2025)
A Black Stork hatched in 2025, but its origin is unknown. It was feeding with other Black Storks (up to 13 individuals) at the Mustjõe flood plains and oxbows, where we organized additional feeding for the Black Storks that were stopping over. Based on its measurements, Walli could be a male, but we cannot be sure. After flying on from the Mustjõe River flood plains, Walli stopped about 30 km south at the Koiva River flood plains. It clearly began its migration on September 5.
