Well Mallachie has travelled a fair distance this weekend. When we left her on Friday (with data up to 6pm on Thursday, 15th) she was in the north of Mauritania. Over the last three days she has headed S, passing Zouerate in Mauritania and heading into Western Sahara and past Choum on Friday and roosting near Atar back in Mauritania. Continuing S on Saturday she past Akjoujit, roosting nearby. Sunday saw her journey S continue, roosting S of Mal. Today (19th) she entered Senegal (just) - she was close to Belkindi at 11am this morning. She's pretty close to Reserve de Faune du Ferlo-Nord to her S and Reserve Sylvo-Pastorale des six Forages to her SW - perhaps she'll pay them a visit?
Meanwhile Rothes has had a less travelled weekend, spending most of Friday and Saturday on Ilha Caravela. Yesterday, though she headed N onto Ilha de Jeta, before heading onto the mainland and Cachalame, where she roosted. Today she continued on N to close to Igim, which is where she was at 10am this morning.
Thanks to this week's short term volunteers who put the data in for me while I sharpened my chainsaw after this morning's deadwood creation session.
More tomorrow.
