Big movements

Its been a big day for both of the birds we are tracking.  Ivato, an adult we marked in Madagascar in February 2014, moved north and was last located on Romiya Islet, the most northern island of those that make up the Dahlak Archipelago, in Eritrea.  Of course the Dahlak Archipelago is where sooty falcons breed.  We'll have to see if Ivato stays or moves away to other breeding areas.  Keep visiting the blog to find out what happens!

Ivato's movements between 14 April and 3 May 2014.

The bird we marked as a nestling in Oman. 130393 also made a big move today, crossing the Mozambique Channel and heading north.. It was last located near the village of Coroma, about 6 km inland from the coast.
