GSE on Birdmap 2023-24

Checking the doings of Ruts in his wintering grounds makes me giggle every day

He seems to be a bird that loves routines - and he seems to be successful in hunting at those three places - he is a 'Triangulist'

Bea, thank you for the maps

Thanks Hellem and Bea

Riks have had a really good luck with the weather so far on his sightseeing tour around Greece, warm and steady, but yesterday it started raining and it will rain until Saturday according to forecasts.
He now seems to have thick trees to take shelter under, not much flying expected.
No more fun, time to grow up boy!

Here is a map from ebird.org with GSE sightings in the area, popular wintering places. Red markers are from last month.
I checked the places where Ruts and Riks have been but no reports the days they have been there.
Amvrakikos Wetlands NP is a good place and have had up to 8 GSEs the last weeks, something for Riks maybe..
I checked observation.org too but no luck there.

Thanks Hellem

17.11 in eBird there was a report from Danube delta, Romania, of 3 GSEs the same day and place as when Iiga was there.

The report has a nice underside picture but no comments of a sender or rings. The legs are bright, maybe a white plastic ring there from Estonia? do you still use those?

Edit: 18.11 also 3, "seen every year"
