I sent question to BirdLife Lebanon, if there is anybody who can check the last known place of Itis transmitter.
I'm not much hopeful about response, but may be...

It's so gruesome.

Why? What did these wonderful, innocent birds do to the humans?

In the last weeks they are killing and poisoning with gas, hundreds of kids and families, and the world is not saying a word

They don't care about humans, you want them to care about the birds?

[Hellem]

Abigyl , all what you wrote about humans happens in Syria, not in Lebanon

Spring is coming Cranes are heading North. I just saw them near Düsseldorf

Yes, this morning I saw (and heard) them flying over the fields near Melle, Osnabrück.

Most of the Cranes flying over the Netherlands in spring are on the West-European flyway and probably go to Germany and Sweden, although there is a connection between Northern Germany and Estonia/Finland on mainly the Baltic-Hungarian flyway.

Btw, Thanks to the Eastern winds the last week thousands of Cranes flew over the Eastern part of the Netherlands, especially last Saturday.

Another interesting article from Aivar Leito on the LK main page

Ahja 5 and the other cranes on their way home

Hellem, thank you so much for the link to these articles. Very interesting.

Loode's route is frightening - I'll have to read the article with the assessment again.

Ahja's pattern is nearly self-explanatory.

It is amazing how strong they are. The distance they cover per day/night is incredible.

Rita , you are welcome
