Re: TIMMU, adult male from Pärnu county
We have the opportunity to follow Timmu's migration since 2020 (the third season).
Timmu reached his wintering area in Ethiopia (not far from Metema to the north-east):
in 2022 on 21.09 (in 2022 he had no brood - thx Madli for info)
in 2021 on 25.09 (in 2021 he raised 2 chicks - thx Madli for info)
in 2020 on 02.10 (in 2020 he had no brood)
Ethiopia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopia
Amhara Region - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amhara_Region
Semien Gondar/North Gondar Zone - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Gondar_Zone
Metema District (woreda) and town - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metemma
Atbarah River (Bahr-el-Aswad, or Black River) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atbarah_River
(the Atbara river seems to be in the Sudan part, in Ethiopia the river is called the Guang river or also Goang/h or Gwang river)
there are sometimes problems with the names on the maps:
1/ the name of the RIVER
googlemaps describes the tributary of the river Atbarah, where Timmu is the same name - Atbarah, on one another map I found the name of this tributary Shiager, later the name Wudi Gemzu (in one researchpaper - some of the authors are Ethiopians)
b/ the name of the VILLAGE
on the maps using the mapbox there is the populated place where Timmu is described as Wedi Gemzo or also Wudi Gemzo
update on the first page/post

also there he searched for food in the river Wudi Gemzu
photo of the river there (first posted by Madli)
Volunteers trap black flies for research along a river near Wudi Gemzu village in Ethiopia’s Amhara region. Wudi Gemzu is a hot spot for river blindness.
