Rothiemurchus was still on the north Galician coast on 3rd May in the same big estuary. The transmitter switched to once every three days and today 6th May the first transmissions are coming in and last night he was roosting close to Arcachon Bay on the French Atlantic coast south of Bordeaux. When the full data comes in it will probably show he flew along the north coast of Spain rather than cut over the Bay of Biscay – but we will see.
Finally reached France
