Hi everyone 🙋🏻‍♀️, thanks as always for all the data maps, images and interesting info you all provide in this forum. I'm so happy to know that Waba is flying strongly to his/her summer home. It looks like s/he's following a very clear map in her mind and knows exactly where to go and what to do. Plus, we have the new visitor in karula, how exciting! and then kergu, kuremari and Nurme, they all seem to be doing well. Looks promising, fingers crossed for all of them!🤞🏻🍀😊

No, unfortunately there is no news, raija.

I fear the worst for our precious Kaia. 😢

We will probably never know what happened to her, nor where or when.

Hi everyone! :hi:

Waba seems to have found a wider area to stay, which sadly seems to mean less regular updates due to low battery status and / or no connectivity... An update for the last seven days:
