130393: 7-17 December 2013

It seems like something has happened to another bird/tag... this time in SE Kenya.  This bird is not that far from where a satellite tagged migrating Amur Falcon was located.  Click here: http://www.satellitetracking.eu/inds/showmap/?check_143=143&check_145=145&check_144=144 We are trying to follow this up.

130397 is still transmitting in Tigray, Ethiopia, and we can't seem to find anyone to go look for it, not least because the security situation along the Ethiopia-Eritrea is difficult.  Can anyone help?

The good news is that 130393 seems to be doing fine.  Below is a map covering the last 10 days.  In that time it has traveled from northern Uganda into Tanzania. On 14 December it was in the vicinity of Dodomo, and its most recent locations are near Ifakara.
