Vogelzug. 29.09.2012 Eriks aus Lettland wird den Äquator überqueren Neue Vögel geben oft Anlass für Überraschungen, wie auch das Fischadler-Männchen , der in Lettland brütet. Eriks flog über das Mittelmeer und die Wüste Sahara, wo er vermutlich keinerlei Fisch fangen konnte und inzwischen haben wir ihn auf der Karte verloren, da die GSM Reichweite dort sehr schlecht ist. Bis heute hat er Kamerun hinter sich gelassen und ist am 28. September bis zu dem kleinen Land Äquatorialguinea in West-Afrika gekommen.

Es ist unwahrscheinlich, dass er in dem dortigen Regenwald überwintern wird, das Ziel ist eher sogar weiter südlich. Fischadler , unsere alte Bekannte aus Nord-Ost-Estland begann am Morgen des 23. September die letzte Phase ihres Herbstzuges, vom Nil-Delta zum östlichen Teil des Sudan nahe dem Fluss Ar-Rahad. , die genau am gleichen Ort zum zweiten Mal Rast macht, scheint es nicht eilig zu haben. Neuigkeiten von den Kranichen werden im nächsten Beitrag kommen, wahrscheinlich.
