Northern bald ibis

The Northern bald ibis is the rarest bird in the Middle East. We're tracking five of them via satellite transmitters as they leave Syria for the winter. Where will they go? Will they survive?

    Odeinat stops transmitting

    • 1 Comments

    I'm sorry to report that Odeinat has stopped transmitting. We had hoped this might have been a temporary blip, but this now seems unlikely. Although the solar-powered satellite tag has already transmitted for slightly longer than the manufacturers expected, it is rather worrying that it was an abrupt stop. We will obviously give any updates if things change, and any further interpretation on what may have happened. We hope to get the regular Ethiopian wintering site checked early next year, but its possible there may not be much to add until then. Unfortunately the site where Odeinat has overwintered the past years has not been possible to reach and check.
