I usually explore Birdmap first.
You gave me the answer to my silent question: what are the 3 or so places that Vija the osprey regularly returns to. (Vija's flight path is more or less regularly seen during the winter seasons in Africa when compared to Elena or Marcus.)
Until now, I had no idea that ospreys are also fond of electric poles.
Although I had seen a photo of a Lithuanian osprey on an electric pole.
Magnus had crossed the border into Botswana a few times and I was suspicious of an area called Commercial Wildlife Utilization.
According to the data https://www.africabizinfo.com/BW/ct-com ... tilization, the purpose of the use of the territory is: "This business is working in the following industry: Zoos and aquariums .. Sports & Activities .. Botanical and zoological gardens and nature reserves activities, Travel agency and tour operator activities".
