Sova, Jo, Hellem :hi: :2thumbsup:

On November 26, Katrin flew from the Rema Bay back to the Bakırçay plain near Bergama, Bergama district, İzmir province, Turkey.
She spent the night near the cattle farm, just (south)east of Bergama.
Katrin has been here before. :D

Image

After looking for food in the ditch, Katrin spent the night on a tree a little south of the cattle farm.

KATRIN, OrniTrack morning update

Battery status: 44%

Katrin was still in the same area this morning, near the cattle farm, just southeast of Bergama.
In the early morning she went again looking for food in the ditch that flows into the Bakırçay river a little bit south of her night area.

Pergamon or Pergamum was a rich and powerful ancient Greek city in Mysia. It is located 26 kilometres from the modern coastline of the Aegean Sea on a promontory on the north side of the river Caicus (modern-day Bakırçay) and a little northwest of the modern city of Bergama, Turkey.

Pergamon
The abundance of Bakırçay

All the significant port and commercial cities of the ancient world had been set up over the deltas where the rivers fall into the seas. Thus the Antique Milet had been set up at the mouth of Menderes River, Ephesus had been set up over Kaystros, Smryna had been set up near Hermos and Pergamon had been founded at the point where Bakırçay (Kaikos) joins the sea. Since the big silts filled up the sea, the city had remained in the interior. Pergamon situated to the north of the plain irrigated by Bakırçay has been one of the most ancient and important cities of the Archaic age. It was governed by the Persian King Gonylos of Eretria and then, captured by Alexander the Great in 334 BC; after his death, the rulers changed two times and finally General Philetairos made it a big kingdom and thus it has been one of the glorious centers of the Hellenistic age for 150 years. Pergamon is one of the most attractive antique cities of Anatolia with the library, architecture, temples, monuments and health centers… Who knows since how many centuries Bakırçay flowing on the Aegean soil witnesses the history of Pergamon? ...

Hellem :2thumbsup: Anne, Juta, Sova :hi:

Eedi update:

previous data: 13.11.2021, distance 6302 km to the east from the town Alfaraah Al Shamaliayah (North Farra), Al Namas Governorate, Asir Province, Saudi Arabia

New data
25.11.2021, distance 6353 km (+ 51 km in 12 days)
He was near the river all time. Since he did not fly much the whole time, I assume that he was able to find food without much effort. :2thumbsup:

Now he's flying away from this area.
Image

he was last year, mostly in this area too

Thank you, Juta :wave: :thumbs:

A few more pics:

Katrin remained all day long in the same area between Yayakent and Poyracık, Kınık district, İzmir Province, Turkey
She went to sleep in the same orchard as last night.
This is about 2.3 km away from her well-known overnight place near the Yayaköy Creek and the stone quarry south of Yayakent.
Image

The entire day:

The weather today in Yayakent:
It was extremely windy, and there were thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.
No wonder Katrin didn't fly much.

https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= ... sp=sharing

Total route flown: 4.58 km
Battery level: 41%

Today, after visiting the tomato paste factory in the morning, little Katrin flew to her well-known area in Yayakent, Kınık district, İzmir Province, Turkey. It wasn’t very far away. :D

Image

Image

She spent the entire day fishing in the Yayaköy Creek, and then went to sleep at her usual spot in the forest near the quarry, south of Yayakent. :rolleyes:
Image


Katrin is in the İzmir province in Turkey since the 27th of October.
Tomorrow is already the first day of the month of December. Will she migrate further south?

Sleep well, everyone!
