All birds on the move, some in Africa already

It wasn't so long ago that the sooty falcon migration started in Oman, and now all the birds fitted with satellite transmitters have left the breeding grounds and are headed south. At the moment, of the Oman birds, one bird is in Saudi Arabia, one is in Yemen, one is in Ethiopia and two are in Somalia.  Ivato, having most of the past 3 weeks just north of Asmara, Eritrea, has now moved south and is in eastern Ethiopia.  See the map below.  If you click on the map, it should open up larger in a separate window.
