News Update from Pandrup Denmark

Another of our birds (ucol27) has signed in from Denmark and the flight information is remarkable. It confirms that our 'live' telemetry tagged birds were at the Fannyside roost at Midnight on the 9 Feb, left the roost and flew to Garbethill Muir and fed during the day. They then took off on their flight to Denmark probably in the evening in a strong westerly airstream (see below) which on arrival in Denmark put them approximately 50 miles north of their usual staging post. They then orientated themselves and by midnight on the  11 Feb had arrived at their usual haunt west of Pandrup.
