Silence from David

17 May 2017

There have been no further signals from David's tag. In previous years David has returned to the UK between 28 April and the 14 May so he would have expected him to be on the move from his wintering location, if not back on his breeding grounds by now. Everything points to a loss of contact due to battery degradation (the tag is now quite old). We are holding out for a little longer before changing his status to inactive.
