WABA (hatched 2022)

[marika.solo]

Thank you, Marika, for the numerous corrections .
I'm not even surprised by Waba that he didn't send data about where he was moving - almost no civilization. So when it showed me a place, I didn't know if it was the name of a mountain, a meadow, or a rock ...

Dear Adriána, no problem

Thank you very much for the big and very good work! Maybe I will have time next days to put some photos (not only from my archive )

That would be great! I saw that Kaia flew there last year and Udu similarly in 2021. .
