About the situation is Sudan:
Sudan is conflict zone. The War in Darfur, also nicknamed the Land Cruiser War, is a major armed conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan that began in February 2003 when the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) rebel groups began fighting the government of Sudan, which they accused of oppressing Darfur's non-Arab population. The government responded to attacks by carrying out a campaign of ethnic cleansing against Darfur's non-Arabs. This resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians. 2021 conflicts and killings still take place. Last bigger clash happened on June 5th between the Arab Taisha and ethnic African Fallata tribes in South Darfur. 36 people were killed, with 37 others wounded. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Darfur#2021)


About the climate: The rainy season in Sudan lasts from May/June until October/November. Last year, Sudan witnessed the worst floods in 30 years. Now, in November, the rains are over and it gets very hot and dry over the next few months.

EEDI http://birdmap.5dvision.ee/EN/2021/autu ... =0&speed=1
(previous post viewtopic.php?p=547#p547)

previous data: 04.11.2021, distance 6171 km (+ 78 km) - "trip" to the King Fahad Dam/Bisha dam (one of his favourite areas there) and localisation is on the way back maybe to the previous area
new data: 13.11.2021, distance 6302 km (+ 131 km in 9 day) - to the east from the town Alfaraah Al Shamaliayah (North Farra), Al Namas Governorate, Asir Province, Saudi Arabia (to the east from North Farra the territory of the tribe extends to the city of Bisha - wiki)

Eedi flew back to the stream area after trip to the King Fahad Dam and visited ones the Valley Dam Bdoh reservoire and the wadi Tarj/stream near the northern/big Wadi Tarj Dam. Our stork is searching for food in the known stream and than flies for night resting on one electricity pylon (two new places).

Hello everybody!
I had the opportunity to ask straight from Mr. Urmas about the situation about Estonian storks- why there has been silence in data for such a long time already.
His answer
"From Egypt, the transmitters do tend to go out of range. And then, of course, I don't know if it's out of range temporarily or permanently. If not earlier, then in spring-summer will become clear. Younger birds begin to move back later than old ones.
The appearance of Udu was a nice surprise for me too, but we have to wait for the data communication for the birdmap. SMS only helps in general to know where the bird is. That format is not suitable for the birdmap."
