November 11th

Hello everyone! :wave:

I can't believe my eyes!
I took a look at OrniTrack, and:

We just received data from little UDU by SMS

:headroll: :headroll: :headroll:

I'm so happy! Tears of joy!
Little UDU made it! :loveshower:

Udu is in the most southern part of Sudan.
There is a lot of data missing (yet), but our little Udu is alive and well!
More info soon! I will now make the tracker map!

Here you are:

TRACKER MAP
UDU - 28 October to 11 November
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= ... sp=sharing

Battery level: 78%

UDU flew 1987 km ! :-)
So Udu survived an additional 2000 km flight through the desert! What a storklet!

S/he is in the most southern part of Sudan, near Chad, South Sudan and the Central African Republic.

Image

On 02.11, i.e. 5 days after leaving his/her last known location in the Farafra Oasis in Egypt, Udu finally reached a (sparsely) inhabited - but still arid - area at the edge of the desert in Sudan. Whether Udu finally found water and food there is not certain at all.

UDU's latest known locations
S/he isn't far from the border with Chad.

UDU

On 05.11, Udu was near Mana.
On 07.11, s/he was near Bumbil.
On 11.11, Udu is again near Mana.

Mana (populated place) is located in Sudan nearby Wadi Timuing, Khawr Kabok, and Khor Kiringkaba. It is also nearby Gartaga and Jabal Dehgul.
https://geoyp.com/55/mana-3060876/

Both Mana and Bumbil are situated in Wadi Salih.
Wadi Salih is a district of Central Darfur State, Sudan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wadi_Salih

Central Darfur State is in a conflict zone. On March 5, 2004, at least 145 people were killed there by Janjaweed forces.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Darfur


Central Darfur State (Arabic: ولاية وسط دارفور‎, romanized: Wilāyat Wasaṭ Dārfūr) is one of the states of Sudan, and one of five comprising the Darfur region. It was created in January 2012 as a result of the ongoing peace process for the wider Darfur region. The state capital is Zalingei. The state was formed from land that had been part of the states of West Darfur and South Darfur.

For this map, we have to keep in mind that the lines are only connections between registered location points, and therefore do not represent the real flown route. Several days and location points are missing in the received data.

I think Udu has heard your suggestion to give each BS a smartphone for the road.
Last evening, s/he sent data via SMS. (therefore the information is limited)
Maybe s/he was allowed to use someone else's phone for that purpose. :D

I don't think we will be so lucky every evening...

I wish we could bring such good news every day. :D
It was a thousandfold luck that we received these data from Udu, I think.
It is such a wonderful 'present' to know that Udu managed to make the very long flight over the Sahara, after crossing the Mediterranean.

Udu is a champion!

I wish him/her a good rest and plenty of food!

I am speechless and yet so overjoyed :loveshower:
Udu actually did it.
S/he probably got a good dose of the best genes.

This shows what advantage the TrackerMaps offer and what great work you are doing for us.
Thank you very much, team Anne, Jo, juta!

Wish everyone a relaxing wintertime.
Hope to see all black storks and black storks lovers back again in spring :wave:
