Hello everyone :-)

Birdmap update for METSOJA https://birdmap.5dvision.ee/EN/2023/aut ... =0&speed=1

Previous data:
- 29.09.2023, Distance: 2649 km (+ 288 km)
- TURKEY (Asia): Paşabük/Kırıntı - a neighborhood in the İznik district of Bursa province
(Kırıntı: neighbourhoods Özekdere and Paşabük)

NEW data:
travelling
- 30.09.2023, Distance: 2854 km (+ 205 km)
- TURKEY: Taycılar - a neighborhood in the Tepebaşı district of Eskişehir province

Metsoja (it seems so on the map) continued with Karl + Kaia to the SE on the "stork highway". But around 14h something happened and Metsoja moved to the north. The newest localisation is to the NW from Taycılar (or SE from Alapınar) in forest area.
