We are a bit worried about 130395. It was last heard at about 1400 on 14 November about 5 km E of Bishah, Saudi Arabia. It should have reported in twice since then, but we have heard nothing. We'll look more closely at the data running up to that last transmission and see if we can form a theory as to what is going on. We'll also just hope that it comes on again...
Here is what the others are doing...
130396 was last heard moving across the Red Sea on 17 November at 1900.
130397 was still in the vicinity of Mersa Fatma, Eritrea in the early morning of the 18th. It has been in this area since early on 13 November.
130393 and 130394 are both in South Sudan. Both have recently made moves north. 130394 started moving north on the 13th and by the 19th of November was just east of the town of Gogrial, South Sudan. 130394 moved north on the 14th and on the 16th it was near Malakal, South Sudan. By the 19th it was near the town of Waat. We don't really know what caused both of these birds to head north, but perhaps it was related to the local weather. Here is a map of the weather in the region on the 14th, when they started to move back north.
