EEDI has a birdmap update

thx Madli, yes for a while now
all birds that sent data (until 14.02) have an update of birdmap today - for Eedi it is on this autumn map plus 2 days of movement
(most probably because the spring birdmap is prepared already)

Eedi stayed in the Wadi Tarj area - in the area one of tributary of the river Tarj (he arrived back to this place on 12.02)

EEDI continuation




(I moved this map today from the previous post)

Eedi hasn't visited the Tendha Dam near Khamis Mushait (to the south-east) this season and has visited the King Fahad/Bisha Dam (to the north) only few times

February 28

we don't have an update for any bird since 24.02 on the birdmap (Timmu: last update/data 04.02)
birdmap will probably be set up to spring migration in few days (March 1 ?)

Hello everyone

Who know - Eedi can be already on his way to the north too



2021: 08.04 Eedi visited the nest from Karl II video by Liz https://youtu.be/olH6AM7udi0

2019: 04.04 - "2019-04-03 19:04:28 Eedi flew over the cam nest. Just on the way back to home. More precisely, Eedi went first to the neighbors nest and stays there for night..." (by Urmas)

2017: 30.03 - "Probably also Eedi is very close or even back at nest." and 13.04 "Most probably Eedi's transmitter is malfunctioning since 26th of March. Transmitter did some tricks also before." (by Urmas)

2016: 05.04 - "Eedi did not fly directly to nest site, but more westward and after a day directed to Karula National Park, we suspect him to breed. He did not stay in Karula, but returned to Latvia for 80 km." (birdmap)
