GSE on Birdmap 2023-24

[Bea]

...
RIKS - 26.10 - distance 3116 km (+130 km ), he sent data from the island of Kythira , near the village Pourko (Πoύρko) in Greece

What is he going to do? Island hopping to Crete?

Some of these GSE have very own ideas

What a pity that contact to Iiva is lost, would have been interesting to see which route she would chose - follow her mate Iivar or taking one of the main usual routes ...

Yes, Riks has changed his mind about doing island hopping to Crete and is back to Peloponnes, a wise decision for a young and inexperienced bird





What are his next ideas?

Bea, thank you for the maps

Last year we lost GSE Sven in this area ...

But in which direction should he fly to be safe?

GSE female Iiga is northeast of Odessa in Ukraine now, she still has the choice to follow the route of her LSE mate Iigar, who flew around the Black Sea on an eastern route, or take the 'usual' western route





Maybe we can see her choice already with the next birdmap update .... I bet she takes the western route
