To date, six eagles have started migration, two are in Yemen, and two are still in Salalah. 185 (blue) and 186 (red) are leading the migrating pack and are currently in southern Iran. The bird that was first caught in 2018 that wintered in central Saudi Arabia is still there. The gap in the data in southern Saudi was when the birds flew through an area with no GSM network, so could not upload location data. If they dwell for some time in a network, those data will be uploaded over time. From about mid-Saudi Arabia the rate of data collection was changed from one every 10 minutes to one every hour.
Bon voyage!
