First Mongolian stork started its way (Friday, September 30, 2005)

While all the European storks that we have been monitoring in the scope of Flying over Natura 2000 project are on their way and some of them are in the area of African wintering grounds indeed, the Mongolian ones are taking their time before starting the flight. The first of them - Erdenet - flew out as late as yesterday. He overcame 340 kilometres the first day and approached the Chinese border.
