Roxy exploring

Roxy has made two longer flights from her home range. On October 11th she flew west to Goseland Hill and back in the early afternoon. On 17th she made a much longer flight south passing over Meggett head reservoir at 5pm and then roosting for the night on the north edge of the forestry plantations NNE of Moffat. At 9am next morning she was ranging along a river corridor in the forest and two hours later had flown north to Fruid reservoir and so back to her normal area.
