I'm very happy too, Balistar and Francesca! :D :wave:

Here are a few views on Madi's latest known location in the fields west of the Danube.
Yes, maybe BONUS is still in the same area too! :D

There are so many power lines in those fields, again! :slap:

Perhaps our birds could explore the floodplains on the nearby banks of the Danube? 8-)

The situation in that area - Brăila County -, yesterday evening. :D Kergu was just south of it .
(if I'm not mistaken)

Brăila County is a county (județ) of Romania, in Muntenia, with the capital city at Brăila.
In 2011, it had a population of 304,925 and the population density was 64/km2.
All the county lies on a flat plane: the Bărăgan Plain, one of the best areas for growing cereals in Romania.
On the east side there is the Danube, which forms an island – The Great Brăila Island surrounded by the Măcin channel, Cremenea channel and Vâlciu channel. On the northern side there is the Siret River and on the north-western side there is the Buzău River.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brăila_County


The Bărăgan Plain has a harsh climate with hot and dry summers and includes the location where the highest-ever temperature in Romania was recorded: 44.5 °C (112.1 °F), at Ion Sion, in August 1951. Winters are cold, and subject to the effects of a blizzard wind, known as "crivăț" (this feature also gives the plain its name, derived from the Cuman language for "place where the blizzard is raging").
Due to its climate, it is one of the most inhospitable areas in Romania.

Hello everyone :hi:

Balistar, Hellem, thank you :wave:

MADI

▶︎ TRACKER MAP
MADI_27.09 — 28.09 (morning)
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= ... sp=sharing

Distance flown: 19.3 km
Battery level: 28%


We received only 3 location points.

Image


Madi spent the night here, in that forested area near Smârdan.
Smârdan is a commune in Tulcea County, Northern Dobruja, Romania. It is composed of a single village, Smârdan. It is situated on the right bank of the Danube, opposite the city of Brăila.
Image
July 2019; https://goo.gl/maps/3Wb7xUjSG8vkkQ9s7

See the map: https://up.picr.de/44434034qy.png


This morning s/he flew in the direction of Garvân and Lake Jijila + its wetlands, in the Tulcea county.

Garvăn is a village of the commune of Jijila in Tulcea county, Dobrogea, Romania.
In the north-west it borders with the localities I. C. Brătianu and Grindu, in the east with the locality Văcăreni, and in the south-east and south-west with the locality Jijila. (translated)


The most significant feature of Tulcea County is the Danube Delta, which occupies about 1/3 of the entire surface and is located in the North-East side of the county. The Delta has three main branches: the Sulina branch (the only one navigable by large ships) in the middle, the Chilia branch in the North (the border with Ukraine) and the Sfântu Gheorghe branch (Saint George) in the South.
In the South-East of the county there are two lagoons: Razelm Lake and Sinoe Lake. In the Danube Delta and in the South — in the area between the Sfântu Gheorghe Channel and Razelm Lake — there are countless channels and small lakes. The entire area is included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites and Biosphere reserves.
The Danube River flows around the county in the West and North side. In the West, there is the Măcin Branch which flows on the East side of the Great Brăila Island. From Smârdan (on the opposite side from Brăila) to Pătlăgeanca (close to Tulcea), the Danube has only one big flow of water, around which there are an immense number of lakes and small channels.


Image

The Jijila is a right tributary of the Danube in Romania. It flows into Lake Jijila, which is connected with the Danube, near the village I. C. Brătianu. Its length is 14 km and its basin size is 41 km2.

Hello everyone :hi:

MADI

▶︎ TRACKER MAP
MADI_28.09 — 29.09 (morning)
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= ... sp=sharing

Distance flown: 54.9 km
Battery level: 28%


Again, we received only 3 location points for the past 2 days (most likely an attempt to keep the battery level 'safe').

Madi flew slightly south.
Maybe s/he would like to meet Kaia and Kergu? :D

Image

Madi is in flight (speed 26 km/h) over the fields of Mărașu, close to Braila's Small Island (Parcul Natural Balta Mică a Brăilei).

Mărașu is a commune located in Brăila County, Muntenia, Romania. It is composed of five villages: Băndoiu, Măgureni, Mărașu, Plopi and Țăcău. It formerly included Nedelcu village, now depopulated.
The Balta Mică a Brăilei Natural Park is partly situated on the administrative territory of the commune.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mărașu


Balta Mică a Brăilei Natural Park. The Natural Park is located in the inferior course of the Danube, between the Brăila Plain (Wallachian Plain) and Great Brăila Island, based on the Small Brăila Island, in the south-eastern part of the country.
Balta Mică a Brăilei Natural Park - an area of 17.529 ha - was declared protected area by the Law Number 5 of March 6, 2000 (published in Romanian Official Paper Number 152 of March 12, 2000) and is a wetland of international importance especially a waterfowl habitat (aquatic ecosystem) and terrestrial species. ...
Species of birds: red-breasted goose (Branta ruficollis), Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus criptus), purple heron (Ardea purpurea), pygmy cormorant (Phalacrocorax pygmeus), squacco heron (Ardeola ralloides), black stork (Ciconia nigra), ferruginous duck (Aythya nyroca), whooper swan (Cygnus cygnus).

Hopefully, Madi's battery will recharge. A completely dead battery would not be helpful. :unsure:

I'm glad to see a plus on km, last data was 0 km increase.
