Thank you Anne ... it would be better I didn't read it.
I mean, we / I care about the animals / birds ... and the people? The world is just unjust ... in so many things ...

While doing the dishes I was thinking the same, Sova. We have always drinking water available, we are never hungry, we have a decent roof over our heads, good health care and education ... And all this only because we happen to be lucky enough to live in a prosperous country.
No, the world is not fair.

Good evening everyone,
Anne
Many thanks for all informations about the hafirs! This all sounds quite bad and I hope, Karl II is already far away from this waterhole. He only can get sick there.
I took pictures from GE, they are probably newer, from April 2019 and March 2020, where the bank is much flatter. Anyway, I don't think Karl II stopped there, - just a feeling.
Picture from April 2019.
The northern edge of the hafir. Viewing height is 1,1 km. The dark points you see are most likely bushes (at least it looks like that when I zoom in more).
The picture was taken in March 2020, so it is brand new. However, spring and summer are gone and it will certainly look different now, drier.
The settlement Anne has found. Anne, you must have eagle eyes! :)
This settlement looks depressing. The people who live there, are certainly very, very poor and one asks oneself what they live on.
Once I saw a TV documentary about people in Sudan who lived in a small desert settlement. Because there were no greens for the goats, the people tore cardboard boxes into small pieces and gave these pieces to the goats to eat. Really, the goats ate the cardboard. The poor animals were of course all sick and terribly undernourished from this "food".
This awful story touched me deeply.
The area here looks like the settlement in the documentation. What should goats eat here? There is nothing. Or could the bushes still have green leaves in autumn? Surely not.
Also large birds like storks will hardly find anything to eat here. Rather, they are in danger of being killed and eaten by the inhabitants of the settlement.
Sova, Anne, I fully agree. The world is not fair.
Sorry, if this is a bit OT.
Anne

This one looks pretty horrible, - very unhealthy.Anne7 wrote: ↑October 26th, 2020, 6:07 pm I made some pictures of that place on a different map.
It looks really impressive.
On this map it looks like a big pit in the landscape, with steep embankments.

Hello, everyone
Michi, many thanks!
Oh dear, what a distressing story! Poor goats... and poor poor people...
There has been a birdmap update for Karula, Timmu and Vedru.
I will document it as soon as possible.

Vedru, on the shores of Lake Tersakan, Konya Province, Turkey.
"Lake Tersakan is a saline lake situated to the west of Tuz lake (site 072), fed by springs, surface run-off and drainage. Large areas of mudflat and small areas of freshwater marsh occur; otherwise the lake has virtually no fringe vegetation. Non-irrigated arable fields surround the lake, sheep graze the shores and mining takes place at the Alkim saltpans to the north.
Key biodiversity: In winter, significant numbers of wildfowl occur."

Hello, everyone
There’s been a birdmap update for little Vedru
He/she is now a little northwest of Adana.
Vedru is close to the Seyhan Dam, a hydroelectric dam on the Seyhan River north of Adana, Turkey
The dam was constructed in the 1950s as the first in a series of hydroelectric projects funded by the World Bank.

Hello, everyone
TRACKER MAP
Karula_October30
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= ... sp=sharing
Karula is still in the same area.
This route is 4.94 km long.
At 17:51:11 (UTC+2), the battery level was 71%
Today, Karula was still standing in the fish pond while sending data.
Usually, he is back in Israel by that hour, on the other side of the river.

Good evening Anne and all
Anne, thank you very much for the tracker map and the pictures
Weather data is available.
I'm starting to worry about Karula ... he's not getting his stomach full. The trips were probably very strenuous. Hopefully our Karula isn't just bones and feathers.
nice evening for all

I really don't know what to make of Karula’s current tracks, Sova.
I hope he’s doing well.
Actually, Karula has mostly flown home at a fairly leisurely pace, with many refueling-stops, except for the last part of his journey.
I suspect he is currently finding enough food in the fish ponds of Tal Al-Mantah, otherwise he would look for food elsewhere.
Who knows... he might as well be quite fat.
It's such a pity we can't see him. That would be great!
