19 décembre 2013, 14h51min : Excalibur : end of the transmission !
As remarked earlier, there have been no more signals since the 14th November. Now that more than a month has passed, one has to think that no more positional data will be received from Excalibur ...
26 November 2013, 20:03 : Position 16 - or end of the transmission?
No more signals have been received from Excalibur since the 14th November ... That means that a good number of recharging cycles for the transmitter have passed with no result: has the battery reached the end of its life?
14 November 2013, 02:58 : Position 15
Excalibur has not really shifted since October, her movements being only very short-distance ones.
7 October 2013, 21:43 : Position 14
A new stopover: Excalibur seems to have stopped again, and is staying in the south.
1 October 2013, 02:33 : Position 13
Excalibur is on the move again, now 10 km south-west of her previous position.
21 September 2013, 02:38 : Position 12
Excalibur seems to have shifted her favoured area towards the east.
14 September 2013, 04:52 : Position 11
Excalibur has just moved 3 km to the east. Is this the start of a long flight?
7 September 2013, 14:42 : Position 10
It's now about three months that Excalibur has been 'resting', just like her counterpart, Kanapaich, two countries further south, in Brazil. A question: do the two birds have synchronous behaviour that affects their phases of (…)
29 July 2013, 03:22 : Position 9
Excalibur has not moved very far for about a month and remains within her favoured area of Suriname.
28 June 2013, 18:26 : Position 8
Excalibur seems happy in her humid area of Suriname, and apart from small movements she remains essentially in the same area.
