Krum was on a circular trip yesterday - approx. 52 km as the crow flies (Krum flew more km):
In the morning he fed in a favourite field and at 9.20 he flew westwards over Manole (video) and near Trilistnik (photo) almost to Plovdiv. There, at 11.30 near Skutar (photo), he turned southeastwards. Krum flew over the Maritsa river and then over the old bridge of the Chepelare river (video).
Over the ponds near Kochevo he continued northeastwards to his usual area. He flew over the airfield at Cheshnegirovo (photo) and again the Maritsa River. Krum then continued through familiar territory alongside Chalakovi (photo) to the rice field with irrigation canals from where he flew away in the morning.
He arrived at 13:00 and sometime after 15:00 flew to the roosting site by the Maritsa River. (photos and videos are in previous posts)

Krum včera bol na kruhovom výlete - preletel viac ako 52 km:
Ráno sa kŕmil na obľúbenom poli a o 9.20 odletel smerom na západ ponad Manole (video) a pri Trilistnik (foto) takmer až k Plovdivu.
Tam sa o 11.30 pri Skutare (foto) otočil smerom na juhovýchod. Preletel rieku Maritsa a vzápätí aj ponad starý most riečku Chepelare (video).
Nad rybníkmi pri Kochevo pokračoval smerom na severovýchod na svoje obvyklé stanovisko. Preletel ponad letisko pri Cheshnegirovo (foto) a opäť rieku Maritsa. Potom už pokračoval známym územím popri Chalakovi (foto) na ryžové polia so zvlažovacími kanálmi odkiaľ ráno odletel.
Priletel tam o 13h a niekedy po 15h odletel na nocovisko pri rieke Maritsa. (fotky a videá sú v predchádzajúcich príspevkoch)
