On 3 October Kasper remained around the Bayan Dutsin Forest Reserve. We didn’t receive any good locations from him during the last transmission cycle earlier today – the charge on his tag was very low. It has not been charging well for a while, possibly because Kasper has been spending his time under the canopy of the forest reserve.

No transmission from Kasper
Martin is joined by Chris
Will Clement follow?
Clement is still in the Lame Burra Game Reserve, north-west of the Yankari Game Reserve, about 130km NE of Jos in central Nigeria, where he has been since the end of August. With the two Cuckoos, that were to the east of here, having now moved south into southern Central African Republic, we are waiting to see when he will move on. The area has slightly higher rainfall than where Martin and Chris were in Chad but it is possible Clement will move on now the wet season is at an end. On the other hand, having taken the western route to get here, perhaps he will do something totally different...
Chris moves south
Lyster moves eastwards
Lyster still in Mali
Messages received on Monday put Lyster still in Mali. He has now been in this area for fifteen days.
Martin heads south
Messages received from Martin three days ago showed that he had moved 350km SSE. He is now near the southern border of Central African Republic and close to the edge of the Congo Rainforest, the second largest area of rainforest in the world. Could this be his final winter destination? At this stage we don't really know. Watch this space.
No movement from Chris
Messages received two days ago show that Chris is still in southern Chad.
No change for Kasper
Three low quality messages from Kasper on 26 September show that he is still in the Bayan Dutsin Forest Reserve, Nigeria.
