Globe is in her second year and in the last month has ranged vary widely in Sutherland and Ross-shire – a huge area of over 3000 km². She started the period south-east of Scourie, in north-west Sutherland, from 22nd to 25th February. Between 26th February and 5th March she made a big circuit northwards to Loch Eriboll, Ben Loyal and Borgie forest and south to Kinbrace (2nd March), then west to Klibreck and so back to her start area on 5th March. On 8th March she flew another big circuit to the south, past Elphin to Cnoc Damph and then down to Slioch, near Kinlochewe, at 2pm on 10th March before turning north and being in Coigach on 11th and then back to her start point. Since that date she has wandered in West Sutherland and on the 21st was north-east of Ullapool.

Back in contact
February 16, 2015
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.

25th December to 25th January
New transmission
January 26, 2015
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
Usual areas
