Kaia made an interesting loop and instead of flying further south, she returned back to the same area where she was just a few days ago!



Kaia is back at the big fields and forested area. She searched for food from the ditches and forest-side.

As we see from the image from the birdmap, that Kaia, Timmu and Kergu- all estonian storks are actully located very close to each other. They could easily meet somewhere by the Pripyat river

Thanks, Marika. I just finished my post but you were faster

Kaia stays in an area by the lake that is not all covered with water. From the map it seems like a darker area..maybe a wet area/ marshland?


Edit: I found this nice video of the village Laxhva and it's surroundings.
