Sky in flight

The good news is that we are beginning to get more input from the satellite tags and now that we've likewise been able to track the kites themselves, we thought we'd bring you some individual updates once again.  First off news about Avoch Primary School's adoptive kite Sky, identified on the map as 'B'.  We last tracked Sky back on the 15th Jan roaming between Munlochy and Drumsmittal and since then, we havent seen much of a change to this pattern.  Between the 4th-13th February we have seen her exploring these areas still.  Sky has a history of sticking fairly local to this patch since fledging, as far as we've seen at least, with only a brief jaunt down the A9 to Daviot towards the end of September last year.  While we can't say where she's been in the interim period when her tag was down, its good to be finally getting some decent positional information on her so we can be hopeful that if and when she does disperse further, we shouldnt be too far behind!
