BLUE
new data arrived after 24 hours (!)

BLUE left the Peloponnese and headed south; yesterday he ended his journey to the small island of Kythira at 21h

Kythira is an island in Greece lying opposite the south-eastern tip of the Peloponnese peninsula. It is traditionally listed as one of the seven main Ionian Islands, although it is distant from the main group. (wiki)

BLUE headed to the south at 7h and at 8h it departs from the island above the sea; but flew back to the island and at 9.30 is again above the sea; the last data arrived with the localisation at noon - Blue was located above the sea

Black Storks fly on the daily average 5-6 hours, while the daily distance covered during migration is around 500km (over the mainland)



I'm worried and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him to get to the mainland happily, whether it's Crete or Africa

Edit: BLUE send evening data - stork is on Crete, here: https://goo.gl/maps/rtTKwfZWgAaYLmEy6

If Blue manages to get across, it will be a miracle and his name will be written in history books.

But....the reality is scary. The distance is very long, and I looked at the weather report...the wind is not at a favourable angle

There are strong eastern winds. I noticed constant shifting in Blue's flight. But we will see how this story ends...
