26 November - 4 December 2013

For the most part the tracked birds continued to mill around in the areas where they have been for the last couple of weeks.  This behavior is not dissimilar to that witnessed when we tracked falcons in 2010 (http://sootyfalconoman.blogspot.co.at/), but the adult bird tracked from UAE (Javed et al 2011) did not show such prolonged stopover behavior.  However, at some point during 1-3 December 130394 did start to push south and by mid-day on 4 December was in southern Ethiopia, just west of Lake Turkana near the village of Chella.  When one zooms into this location it seems that the habitat is made up of small scale farms.
