situation at 15.40h UTC

1/ one long circuit: 6.20-10.50 (to the SE to the Maritsa River and back) + 2/ immediately one shorter circuit and back at 12.10 (to the confluence of the Azmaka - Srebra - Maritsa)
1/ jeden dlhý okruh: 6.20-10.50 (na JV k rieke Marica a späť) + 2/ okamžite kratší okruh a späť o 12.10 (k sútoku riečky Azmaka - Srebra - Marica)



- hopefully successful foraging near canalisation canal and departure to the night roost
- dúfajme úspešný lov pri zavlažovacom kanáli a odlet na nocovisko
