Great news, Alice.  Thanks.

Thanks, Alice.  It's good to have any information and you are doing sterling work in keeping us all informed.

Thank you Alice. Mallachie is heading right on Talismans track for the Bijagos Archipelago.

Thanks, Alice. Fingers crossed that Mallachie can end her travels somewhere safe with a plentiful fish supply. Rothes seems settled, but then remember Nethy last year who suddenly set off for the Gambia after seeming to be settled further north.

Once again Alice, so grateful for update.

Thanks, Alice ... all seems to be going well ... fingers crossed it continues like that.

Thank you, Alice.  Good for Mallachie.  Hope she stops awhile soon and builds up a bit!

only 50kms from the Gambia. Excellent.maybe her  travels are nearly over, lets hope she keeps well away from crocs while she fishes.

Thank you once again Alice for the update.  Let us hope our girls stay safe and happy with good fishing.  It's amazing how far they have travelled at only a few months old.  Saw our first Whooper swans with their cygnets today (about three dozen swans and two dozen cygnets).  Lovely to hear and see.

Haven't posted for a while but I've been checking progress of all our birds (including those listed on Roy's site) regularly.  All seems good this year, as far as we know, so fingers crossed for a good return migration in 2010 - or later for this year's chicks.  Have a good autumn/winter everyone!

Mallachie looks like she is heading straight for Bird Island - we spent 4 or 5 days there in 2003 as part of a birding trip round The Gambia.  Wonderful place for Ospreys & African Fish Eagles - nearly every large tree had 1 or the other perched on it.  Again, many thanks for the updates

It would seem from GE's current positions that Rothes is checking out freshwater fishing possibilities.  The river she is on at the moment has lots of white water, so the water is fresh and fast, at least in some parts of the year.  Most of the tagged birds seem to be converging on the one area, so it will be interesting to see if any of them seem to be keeping company.

I haven't posted for a while but wanted to thank you and let you know i'm still following the blogs, i check everyday to monitor the progress of these marvellous birds, thank goodness all seems to be going well (so far) fingers & toes all crossed!!

Many many thanks again Alice - could hardly wait for the update   tonight :)

pip - wonderful to read your news.

Wattle - good observation on the fresh water, I hadn't thought about that. Thanks.

HelenB - welcome back :)

Thanks again Alice. They are really on their way now. Lets hope that EJ, Odin, and Garten have arrived safely at their African destinations!!!!!!!

Thank you Alice. Good news.

We so appreciate your daily updates Alice.
