Dulas - Crossing into Africa

Dulas - Crossing into Africa

293 Miles Flown!

After resting overnight on the River Guadiaro, Dulas took flight at first light. He crossed the Strait of Gibraltar between 7am and 8am and didn't stop. The next 11 hours of data showed him flying non-stop in a SSW direction through Morocco, a clear and determined flight. He came to rest after 293 miles, close to the river flowing out of the Barrage Al Massira and hopefully had time to fish there before roosting for the night. At this stage he was within 65 miles of Einion, the closest they have been since August 31st.

As we know, Einion has been resting in this area for nearly two weeks, would his little brother do the same? It would appear not. Some unconfirmed data suggested he continued to travel south on the 20th, heading for the desert. We will not know for sure until we receive more data, which is due tomorrow (22nd Sept). There seems to be no stopping Dulas. Not so wimpy now!
