KATRIN morning update

Battery status: 41%

This morning, Katrin was still in the same area in Yayakent, Kınık district, İzmir Province, Turkey.
She went fishing in the Yayaköy Creek.

Image

The weather in Yayakent for today.
No rain, (almost) no clouds. Good for Katrin, and probably good for the battery too. :2thumbsup:
The temperatures however are a little lower again. Especially the ‘real feel’ (temperatures felt) aren’t very comfortable anymore.

Katrin's location today at 08:29 (UTC+2), seen in Google Earth (view to the north)

Image

Zoomed view.
Does anyone know what this pit or reservoir (with a sloping floor?) could be used for?
I do not see any irrigation canals near the pit.
There is a path to the nearby farmhouse(?), or is it perhaps a winery? It could be that grapes are grown on this hill.

Have a nice day! :wave:

Hello, Bigfan! :wave:
It is nice of you to come and say hello!

Thank you, Jo! :hi:
Little Katrin is back near the cattle farm (Delbıçakoğlu Tarım ve Hayvancılık), southeast of Bergama, İzmir Province, Turkey.
She is starting to get to know every brook and ditch in the wide area. :2thumbsup: :D

Image

Katrin has been here before.
After searching for food in the ditch that flows into the Bakırçay river, she went to sleep just south of the cattle farm.
Image

Her night location, in a tree not far from the farm.
(Under a cute little cloud :laugh: )
Image

Sleep well, little Katrin.
Sleep well, everyone.

She went to sleep in the same tree as yesterday, just south of the cattle farm. :D

Good morning :hi:

KATRIN morning update

Morning route: 5.00 km
Battery: 38%

This morning Katrin flew from her night area near the cattle farm first to the Kocadere and then to the ditch were she has been looking for food yesterday. She is still in the same area, southeast of Bergama, İzmir Province, Turkey.

Image

Image

Poor Katrin will have an awful lot of rain today, and thunderstorms in the afternoon! :slap:
28 mm of rain equals 28 liters, almost 3 full buckets of water per square metre.
I expect the battery level to drop even more today.

Maybe I'll be more lucky.

Have a nice day Anne, Juta , Jo, Hellem... and a big thank you to everyone for your efforts and our joy in watching our feathered friends .. We do not know why little Katrin does not fly further in the sun .. I would just like to ask- can she survive in this area at all?
