Surprises

Well, we thought that Ivato, the adult sooty falcon had settled onto its breeding territory in Eritrea.  However, a few days ago he moved about 300 km south to inland Ethiopia, then headed NW.  By 27 May he was located in northern Ethiopia, near the town of Debark, and now only about 90 km away (SE) of the location of the juvenile marked by us in Oman last year (130393), which is slowly making its way north.  See the map below.
