More fascinating stuff on a fascinating bird :-)

Good news is that the killing fields in India are no more and 95778 made it past there in November 2013. Duke is trying to get the latest news on 95778 but seems her transmitter is very weak now.

More good news is that 3 more birds were tagged in November and you can see their flights and present location right here

Play around with the satellite map, fascinating to see the different flight paths and time taken to get to different areas.
