Estonia: KARL II, adult male

[Madli]

Karl II has about 400 km to reach the Karula NP. Theoretically, he could reach it in 1 day if he flew very straight I hope that Urmas is able to get the livestream running soon..

Hi Madli,
- Mare's record is this spring 603,7 km (24h) (even Urmas does not know about longer distances)
- usually they flies about 250 km (- 350 km) per day (only very, very rarely they reach 500 km in one day)
- we will see what Karl II: if all goes well (weather - thermals) it can be also only 1 day
finger crossed for safe fly to home area!

Today, April 08, Karl II reached his nest in Karula National Park, Estonia!

A late night message from Urmas:
"In the morning we changed the camera at Karl's nest, we lost audio there. We barely finished before Karl's return. I knew that he spent the night ca 130 km south, I must check the times, but I think it was a 1-2 hour gap between us leaving and Karl's arrival. He is in the nest at the moment.
I'll try to make the cameras public now, for that I still need to look over the descriptions, links etc."

Welcome home Karl!
