UDU Info:http://birdmap.5dvision.ee/EN/2021/autu ... =0&speed=1
(previos post )

Previous data: 22.10.21. Distance 4555 km. Near Leimonas, Laconia municipality, Greece.
New data: 23.10.21. Distance 4791 km(+236 km) Palaiochora, Crete Island, Greece.

Last location for UDU is from Crete, but Udu is still in flight- above the sea. It is possible that Udu is only circling around to gain height. He/She might continue to open sea or return to the island..
Udu was flying smart- he used the middle islands Kithira and Antikythira as guiding and safe land points. Probably for gaining altitude.

KARL II Information from Birdmap: http://birdmap.5dvision.ee/EN/2021/autu ... =0&speed=1
(previous post )

Previous data: 21.10.21. Distance 4856 km. Tirat Zvi in the Beit She'an Valley, near Israel-Jordan border.
New data: 27.10.21. Distance 6464 km(+1608 km/6 days). Near Merowe Dam, Northern Sudan.

After a week of waiting we finally meet Karl II again and he has made some serious progress! :)
Karl is currently in Sudan, flew past the Merowe reservoir/dam.
EDIT Marika-Solo: Karl flies above the Bayuda desert - Bayuda volcanic fields.

Here is Karl's journey divided into night resting areas and also a comparison of Karl's last year's route to his wintering place.

The Merowe Dam.
The Merowe Dam in Northern Sudan is one of the world’s most destructive hydropower projects. It displaced more than 50,000 people from the fertile Nile Valley to arid desert locations, because of the consequent reduction of water flowing downstream. Thousands of people who refused to leave their homes were flushed out by the rising waters of the reservoir.

UDU Info:http://birdmap.5dvision.ee/EN/2021/autu ... =0&speed=1
(previos post )

Previous data: 24.10.21. Distance 4994 km. Crete, Greece.
New data: 27.10.21. Distance 5983 km.(+989km/ 3 days). Near Farafra, Egypt.

UDU successfully crossed the Mediterranean Sea! Luckily he had very favourable conditions. Currently he is about 50 km away from the nearest water and food source- the Farafra Oasis. Hopefully he finds this place for a good rest and regaining energy..

A main geographic attraction of Farafra is its White Desert (known as Sahara el Beyda) — a national park of Egypt and 45 km north of the town of Farafra, the main draw of which is its rock type colored from snow-white to cream.
