Rothiemurchus reached Devon at 10am this morning.
On 6th/7th May he roosted east of Rochefort and then next day flew over 300 kms to the north coast of France. He roosted overnight east of the St Malo estuary, but on 8th May poor weather prevented a Channel crossing and he flew 100 kms west to the north Brittany peninsula and roosetd over night near Begard. This morning he was near the Brittany coast at 0607GMT and the next contact at 10.26am our time was just NW of Salcombe in South Devon; he had completed the crossing of 100 miles in 3 hours with a tail wind of 20mph, but but weather with rain showers. Full GPS details not yet in. He should fly north rapidly and where will he go.
He was in mid Channel at 0800GMT and came ashore at Prawle Point in Devon at 10am. He continued north and then NE to be south of Toverton at 4pm and came to roost in a wooded hill, Periton Hill just south of Minehead. A day’s flight of 295 km.
