Any possibility of seeing if it has a darvic lettered ring and most importantly on which leg ?

This is worth coming outta self isolation for! ps we are coming soon but you might not see us!

Welcome you beauty !

Ok, Beatrice has moved slightly E and is approaching Timbuktu. Ruth isn’t doing much at all and you have to wonder if she is now going to attempt Europe again at all? Meanwhile John is on sabbatical in Spain it appears! You could not have predicted this ! Grauwe Kiekendief - Kenniscentrum Akkervogels

Thank you to all our supporters!

On #WorldMigratoryBirdDay please praise be to the Montagu’s Harrier ! Africa to Europe and back again.

Beatrice has stepped it up and is now actively crossing the Sahara - almost a month after her first try, will she decide on Spain instead of UK ?

Beatrice (D Blue) has made more progress, Mediterranean crossing next.

A paper shared by Grauwe Kiekendief - Kenniscentrum Akkervogels An adult Montagu’s Harrier summering in Africa after a failed migration or poor previous breeding season. Ruth may become the 2nd statistic.

Beatrice has made more progress, these points at 5am today, lining herself up for the Mediterranean crossing. Odd hill arrangement to the SW of her position ?

Here is the full autumn-spring migration journey for James who we sadly lost in Algeria. Awaiting results of PM. More than half of the 4000km journey is desert.

The very latest on our three birds, Ruth (purple) is now heading north -at last! Beatrice is still waiting to cross the Mediterranean and John is enjoying Spain - may be a little too much !
