As partof a study on survivalandmigrationof White stork juveniles, we, togetherwithour international collaborators, havetaggedstorknestlingswithsatellitetransmitters in a varietyof different countries. I receivedyour email addressfrom Kerem Boyla, becauseyoumightbeabletohelpuswithrecoveringoneofthese GPS transmittersfrom a stork thatdiedcloseto Lake Van. The last locationofthestork was senttous on 11/12/2012 18:00. It wasLat: 38.358588, Long: 43.812098.We are very interested in recovering the GPS transmitter, and also, if possible, find out why the stork died. Would it be possible for you, or a colleague of yours, to go to this location to search for the GPS transmitter? We are, of course, willing to pay for your time and travel costs. I attach a photo of the transmitter to this email. Let me know if you have further questions, or need more information. If you decide to go, I can also send you the latest position sent to us. As long as the battery of the tag is still alive, we’ll get updates of the location twice a day. • Thank you very much in advance! • All the best, • Andrea • Andrea Flack, PhD • Max Planck Institute forOrnithologyAm Obstberg 178315 Radolfzell 16 Dec 2013 Dear Andrea, I will check signallocationTuesdayorWednesday.
