[Anne7]

Thank you, Juta.

Hello, Sova
Maybe Karula started his migration?
Let's hope for new data tomorrow.

Good night.

[juta]

Now, there is written that new data will be at 21.04 Est. time

OK. Thanks, Juta.
Then we have to wait a little longer.

Unfortunately NO new data...

Yes, I have seen it too, Juta.

OrniTrack says:
Last data received by GPRS: 2020-03-27 20:04:21 (UTC+3)
Next data session expected: 2020-03-30 21:04:21 (UTC+3)

I hope everything is OK with Karula.

Edit:
Could it be that Karula's transmitter has entered "sleep mode" at this hour, and therefore no data is being sent?
It's just an idea that comes to my mind ....

[Treia]

Hey Karls' Families followers,
and good spring despite Korona!

I hope our Karula and you all are healthy and well !?!

[sova]

good Morning

Anne, why should the transmitter go into sleep mode ... we never had that.
Or does Karula fly where he shouldn't?

Hello, everyone!

Treia

good Morning :hi :
Anne, why should the transmitter go into sleep mode ... we never had that.
Or does Karula fly where he shouldn't?

Totally unexpected at this hour, but we have new data on Karula!

Karula started his migration and is travelling fast!
And he didn't fly over Lebanon! Clever boy!

I will make the tracker maps of the two missing days first.

The day before yesterday:

Karula can easily be in Turkey by then! The border is at about 30 km.
Hurry up, Karula!

Good evening

Karula's weather data is available.
I have compiled weather for all missing days.

Anything else; I will no longer create the weather data for missed days ... it is simply too much, especially if Karula flies.

You're of course right, Sova.
This shouldn't become a gigantic amount of work for you, and a burden!

Thank you so much for all the work you do each and every day!

I will now create the summaries and put them under the appropriate tracker maps.
Wish me luck.

Edit: done.
Heavens, Sova, that was indeed an awful lot of work!

[Michi]

Great news here!

What luck that Karula did not fly over Lebanon! A big relief! It saves me a lot of worries.

Many, many thanks, Anne and Sova , for the lot of work you did today!

Now hurry up, Karula! We want to see you in Turkey soon. Although Turkey is also not safe for storks. :-/ But better than Lebanon and Syria.

I was unable to make today's second tracker map, because the KML file could not be imported in Google Maps.
Apparently, too many data have been collected in this geofence zone, so now the KML file exceeds the 5 MB limit.

BUT, you will not believe this.
I can see in OrniTrack where our Karula already is at the moment!

Just give me a few minutes and I'll post the pics!


EDIT: Here you are

Finally away from those dangerous countries!

If I may express a wish: Karula, fly at least as far as Bulgaria!

Anne , it's wonderful! Thank you!

I completed yesterday's summary.
I don't know at what time we will have a new data session today.

The Ornitrack control panel says:
Last data received by GPRS: 2020-03-30 23:33:05 (UTC+3)
Next data session expected: 2020-03-31 23:33:05 (UTC+3)

But this timing is for the geofence zone only, I think, and most probably Karula isn't there anymore by now.
I will regularly check if the timing changes.
Possibly, we will have an update around 21:05 (UTC+3)?
