At the present Csalán has been located the most southwards from among the red-footed falcons tagged by satellite transmitters. Just like the other birds, she has been roaming in the romantic landscapes of Angola during the recent weeks, but according to our latest information she has left them and crossed the Okawango River.

Jasmine, the female red-footed falcon breeding in Vásárhelyi-puszták, Hungary, was the first one fitted by satellite transmitter in July. However, her transmitter has not forwarded signals even since one week following the fitting. Ornithologists feared that the bird perished, as not any signal of Jasmine has been received for several months from the locating satellites. (2009/11/02)
Red-footed falcons tagged with satellite transmitters in the Carpathian-basin during the breeding season began their migration less than 3 weeks ago. The birds heading towards the southern part of Africa successfully crossed the Sahara. It is only Csenge whose fate is doubtful as the last data on her localization was received from the middle of the desert. It is likely that her transmitter, that had already operation problems earlier, has broken down. (2009/10/12)
Red-footed falcons tagged with transmitters all arrived to Africa in the first week of October. From Nigeria news were received about Anita who was sought to be lost previously! Csenge and Hárpia, the “lagmen” are closing to the southern part of the desert! (2009/10/05)
