situation at 15.47

Krum flew today from the night roost to one of the irrigation canals and immediately turned to the Azmaka stream (new section) - he was there from 5.50 to 7.10 UTC.
From Azmaka he flew west to another canal and along it to yesterday's place towards the north (7.50). He continued further in a curve towards the east to another irrigation canal and stayed there for an hour (8.30-9.40).
He returned to the main place (10h) and from there continued south again to Azmaka stream - to the usual place. He was there from 10h to 11.10 UTC. Then flew along the canal to the east and turned back (11.40) and stayed there - main place - from 12h to 12.50 UTC.
From Azmaka Krum flew northeast and there he moved near the "new" irrigation canal from 13.10/13.20 to 15.47 (newest data/localisation).



Krum z nocoviska dnes priletel k jednému zo zavlažovacích kanálov a hneď sa otočil k riečke Azmake (nový úsek), bol tam od 5.50 do 7.10. Od Azmaky odletel smerom na západ k ďalšiemu kanálu a pozdĺž neho k včerajšiemu miestu smerom na sever (7.50). Pokračoval ďalej oblúkom smerom na východ k ďalšiemu zavlažovaciemu kanálu a tam zotrval skoro hodinu (8.30-9.40).
Vrátil sa k hlavnému miestu (10h) a odtiaľ pokračoval zase na juh k Azmake - k obvyklému miestu. Tam bol od 10.0 do 11.10 potom odletel pozdĺž kanála na východ 11.40 a otočil sa späť a zostal tam od 12h do 12.50.
Od Azmaky odletel na severo-východ a tam sa pohyboval pri "novom" zavlažovacom kanáli od 13.10/13.20 do 15.47.
