Heading south

Two sooty falcons continue to push toward Madagascar,  Daymani ديماني, a juvenile bird, is located in southern Tanzania about 70 km north of Lake Malawi near the town of Makambuko, and is heading SE toward the coast.  Fahal فحل, an adult, reached the Mozambique coast just across from Madagascar, but then turned north and is currently just inside the Tanzania border near the town of Mtwara.   The route taken last year by our tracked bird was very similar.  Click here to see the movements of that bird in late December 2013.  Below is an aerial photo of Mtwara.
