JAC pushes north through Spain
JAC crosses the Sahara
No news from Grove II
There have been no updates from Grove II’s tag since 6th January, so, sadly, it is increasingly likely that we have heard the last from him but there is still a glimmer of hope that he will yet reappear.
Ellis could be moving soon
JAC still in Guinea
Since arriving in Guinea on 28 Feb JAC has flown a short distance north and is now halfway between Diassadougou and Guieredougou in eastern Guinea. He has spent approximately 20 days in this area preparing for the next leg of his northward migration. Last year he began crossing the Sahara on 7th April, so be prepared for JAC to migrate north within the next 3 weeks.
Joe exploring Ivory Coast
Since arriving in eastern Ivory Coast on 2 March Joe has made a detour south towards Bettié and returned to Damé after a few days. Earlier this week he flew 73km (45 miles) north west to Kofi Akakro, where he has remained. This being the first year in which we have tracked his spring migration we don’t know when he is likely to embark on his desert crossing.
Victor II in Ivory Coast
Victor II has spent approximately 2 weeks in central Ivory Coast. Earlier this week he flew 60km (37 miles) south west and is now 16km (10 miles) due east of the capital city Yamoussoukro. This is the stop over site he used last year before he crossed the Sahara on the 13th April. Be prepared to see him cross in the next few weeks.
