Is Chris moving west?

Chris staying close to Sedlescombe

Chris has remained in the area near Sedlescombe in East Sussex since his movement over the weekend, an accurate fix early this morning placing him a little to the north of the village.
Chris heads to the south coast
06 Jun 2011
The last bird to be tagged, Chris, remained near to where he was caught for the rest of 1st June. By the evening of 3rd June he had moved to the north of Thetford Forest north of Mundford, 7km (4 miles) away.
After a wholly unexpected movement, Chris was next located 48 hours later on the evening of Sunday 5th June just outside the village of Sedlescombe near Battle, in East Sussex! He roosted overnight at this location 10km (6 miles) inland from the Sussex coast. Together with the movement of Clement, this means that both of the young males tagged in the Thetford Forest area have already moved off south, having apparently started their post-breeding migrations a month earlier than expected.
