Should we tag a brother?? Dear Andrea and Martin,the stork nestling that you warned about was predated by an Iberian linx (it seems that this year the linxes in Dehesa de Abajo are taking goodprofit). We can put this tag in another nestling (e.g. a sibbling) from which we have already perfomed stress series, taking diferent featherand blood samples, assessed disturbance levels etc. But we can only do that tomorrow thursday (with Michael Romero, who isvisiting Donana), as I am leaving to Canada soon. Andrea, Martin, do you authorise this replacement of bird for the orphantag??Please answer at your earliest convenience.Cheers!Julio El 09/07/2013 11:31, Julio Blas escribió:Hi Andrea,Thnak you for the warning.

It lookslike it left the nest, but now it stopped moving away from the nest and movebank says it is dead. It would be very important to go andcheck whether the animal is dead, and if so, to get the tag back.It's last location was Longitude: -6.1; Lat: 37.20. You can also seeit in the movebank or google Earth. If the stork is dead, and you canfind it, it would be great if you could take a picture and try tofind out why it died. Let me know if you have more questions.All the best,Andrea
