Canisp is coming up to her fourth year and in the last month has been ranging widely in Sutherland from Kinlochbervie to Ben Armine, an area of over 1000 km².

February 22nd to March 22nd

Canisp’s transmitter has woken up again with the first real day’s of sun to charge the battery – it’s always been a problem sat tag. On 9th February she was north of Loyal Lodge, Tongue, and flew to Eriboll before roosting that night east of Loch Hope. Next day at 4pm she was south of Durness near Cranstackie and roosted that night near Arkle. Earlier non GPS locations were from the Loch Choire area 2nd – 6th February. So as normal she is keeping in NW Sutherland.

February 9th and 10th

On 21st January we received a poor quality signal frtom the Assynt area showing that Canisp is probably still living in NW Sutherland. That transmitter has always been poor and only works when there is good sunlight, so we should get some more data as the season advances

Canisp’s transmitter is now intermittent and there were no new signals in October from NW Sutherland
