Har fået e-mails fra Patrick Lorgé,Luxembourg. Han har givet tilladelse til, at jeg bringer hans kommentarer til fuglen på netfugl Han mener, det er en 1k. Der er måske mulighed for at sammenligne med Viskum-fuglen fra ultimo juli i år.Den er angivet til at være en 2k. Der bliver refereret til et billede taget af Knud Pedersen : http://www.netfugl.dk/pictures/birds_uploaded/4454_SortStork2KSkagen060604BIG.jpg Endv er der en del andre billeder i galleriet at sammenligne med. 15.juli skriver han (forkortet) bla: Dear Kenneth and Ole, With great interest I saw your Black Storck pictures from 7th august 2003 on netfugl.dk. The comment indicates that it is a 2 cy bird. I strongly believe that the yellow beak and legs do not fit a 2nd cy bird, but are typical for juvenile birds (1st cy). 2nd cy birds have more reddish legs and bill, but still have the juvenile head and throat feathers. Jeg replicerede bla: Kenneth and I decided that prhaps there was a little too much red on legs and bill for a 1 cy bird. None of us had experience with young Black Storks. 19. juli skriver han (forkortet) bla: Dear Ole, Another good criteria for your bird being a 1st cy are the birds totally new flight feathers. Compare with the definetely 2nd cy bird photographed by Knud (flight picture) where the flight feathers are much more worn (typical for 2nd cy bird). cheers patric lorgé luxembourg
