Eedi does move north, but by some reason no GPS locations are sent since Syria. Last GSM connection from Romania, yesterday. There are some more similar problems with GPS data of birds. It can be related to war in Ukraine...

My first love was Karula and the family of Karl I, and then immediately second comes Uncle-Eedi. Over the years, the list continues, of course, with the family of Karl II and Jan & Janika's family.

So I’m also relieved that Uncle-Eedi is okay and is on his way home! :smile:

Karl II
Previous birdmap data:
30.03.2022; Distance: 6416 km, (+185 km in 1 day). Karl II crossed the Ukrainian border, flew north, changed his mind near the little village of Bilychyn in the Bar District of the Vinnytsia Oblast, and flew all the way back to his morning location in Moldova. He sent data north of Mîndîc and south of Maramonovca, villages in the Drochia District, in northern Moldova.
NO new birdmap data

There have been several "SMS updates" for Karl II, who is currently in Ukraine.
Data sent by SMS are not suitable for updating the birdmap.
However, we can make a (simplified) tracker map of it.

Please see the Tracker Maps since 31.03 in the "Following Karls’ Families" topic here:

There has been a birdmap update for Eedi

Eedi
Previous data:
24.03.2022; Distance: 3935 km (+135 km in 2 days); Eedi sent data on the Bayindir Creek near Akören, Konya Province, Turkey

(Eedi sent his last known GSM data in Romania on 31.03
See Urmas' post: https://www.looduskalender.ee/forum/vie ... 82#p845182
And by now he is probably already much further than that.)

Pictures tomorrow! :wave:
