Dulas - Costa del Sol

Migration Update, September 18th

Despite being blown 300 miles east on the worst day of the storms last week on his first day of migration, Dulas has corrected for this well. By the time he had reached northern Spain he was only 60 miles east of where his brother Einion had been a few days earlier. By the time he passed Madrid, both he and Einion were in the exact same place separated only by time. Incredible.

The last coordinate we have for Dulas has him on the Guadiaro River, just 5 miles away from where Einion was on September 6th near Gibraltar. Amazingly, Roy Dennis was in this area last week and actually saw one of his tagged ospreys, Beatrice, in the very same place as Dulas is on the 18th - she over-winters here.  Both Dulas and Beatrice must have seen each other?
