Good morning
Is there nothing new about Uncle Eedi ?

sova,
so far no further information, that i'm aware of.
Urmas was thinking about possibly going to Latvia, he probably hasn't had the time yet:

Hello everyone

MADI

▶︎ TRACKER MAP
MADI 02.10.22 — 03.10.22
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= ... sp=sharing

Distance flown: 9.37 km
Battery level: 28 %

Little Madi is still in the same area, in the fields near Frecăței, a commune located in Brăila County, Muntenia, Romania. Frecăței is composed of six villages: Agaua, Cistia, Frecăței, Salcia, Stoienești and Titcov.

Those villages and irrigated fields are located within The Great Brăila Island (Romanian: Insula Mare a Brăilei).

The Great Brăila Island is an island on the Danube river in the Brăila County, Romania. It has on average 57.9 km length and 18.6 km width, with a total area of 710 km2. The two river branches which separate it from the mainland are Măcin Branch and Vâlciu Branch.
Adjacent to the west across the Vâlciu branch is the Small Brăila Island (Romanian: Insula Mică a Brăilei, actually a chain of several islands within swampy area), separated from the mainland by Vâlciu and Cremenea Branch.
Currently, 681.3 km2 — 94.6% of the area of the island — are occupied by agricultural terrains of which 70.84 km2 are irrigated and is protected by a dam having a length of 23.5 km. On the island there are two communes, Frecăței and Mărașu, which have about 5,000 inhabitants. In the southwest is the village of Mărașu.
There was a series of swamps – Brăila Pond (Romanian: Balta Brăilei), until the Communist regime drained them and built dams using forced labour of political detainees and transformed it to an agricultural area. There were "re-education camps" at Grădina, Ostrov, Bandoiu, Lunca, Salcia, Stoienești, and Strâmba Veche. The terrain proved to be fertile and it was declared a "success of Communism in Romania".
In 2018, it was announced that Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an investor from the United Arab Emirates, had purchased 57,000 hectares on the Island for agricultural development.
Balta Mică a Brăilei Natural Park is base on the Small Brăila Island.
