I thought I'd start with Mallachie today for a change. She's in the same area so there's not really anything to report - except that she's obviously in a really good location or she would have moved on by now. She's still tending to roost at the more southerly reservoir and commute to the other one for the day. It's still only early October, but perhaps she'll stick where she is for the winter? Latest point is for 10am this morning (7th) when she was as the reservoir N of Zebreira.
Meanwhile Rothes has had a relaxing 18 hours movement wise. She continued N from that unnamed island (which today on Google maps has a name - Egara) and flew to Ilha Caravela (by 1pm yesterday). She then spent the afternoon on there exploring a bit but mainly sitting around in trees, trying a few different ones out for size so to speak. She roosted there and at 6am this morning, that's where she was.
More tomorrow.
Good news that they both seem to be healthy. I had hoped I might see where Mallachie settled before going off on holiday, but better that she is looking well. In 2 1/2 weeks time, I hope the news will be just as good.
Thank you very much Alice for another positive blog. I hope that Mallachie stays where she is for the winter and as for Rothes she is in a prime fishing location. Great news.
Thank you so much again Alice for taking the time. You are a treasure. It's such good news that they are both safe and happy!
Super, Alice. How we appreciate these updates! It's just so good to get the positive news.
Alice, couldn't wish to receive any better news than that. Thank you.
Thanks!
Thank you Alice! Much appreciated!
They both seem settled and doing well. I got tickets today for "Nature's Homecoming" at Eden Court on 21st October with John Lister-Kaye, Dr Paul Walton and Roy Dennis so should be a good evening of migrations! Really looking forward to it.
As ever Alice thanks for the update. Both well and settled for now and I do wonder if Mallachie is going to stop where she is for the winter. Would save us a lot of worry to know she was happy to stay put. Mayb Rothes has picked her final destination with good fishing as well.
I just checked the weather in Portugal and it looks like they have a very mild winter. I guess if Mallachie decides to stay... oh heck, what am I saying.... Mallachie, go to da islands, girl, go to da islands!!!
Thanks Alice for keeping us in the know. I just love following our girls and seeing them doing well and
exploring the world.
Thanks Alice. Has Rothes finally put the brakes on? If she has she couldn't have chosen a better place to be - Well done girl!!
WV sUSAn: Still chuckling over your post. :-))
Great to know all is well with both birds maybe Mallachie will just stay put who knows time will tell as long as they are ok that is what matters
Horrah horrah ! many thanks Alice for the good news update. I'm very happy about it all.
Great Alice, thanks for the updates. It looks as if Mallachie has settled down for a while just like Rothes did. Glad to hear that Rothes is exploring but still safe.
Thank you Alice. Been away for a few days and still trying to catch up but wonderful to see our girls doing so well.
