After three weeks in central Morocco, Einion finally restarted his southerly migration. He probably found some good fishing on the irrigation canal south of Casablanca, meaning he was in good condition for the second half of his journey.

He set off on the morning of September 25th and by evening had made it to southern Morocco, flying around 220 miles. The following day he travelled 240 miles south, roosting on the north Mauritania border - probably on the desert floor. On the 27th and 28th he travelled 800 miles combined, all over inhospitable desert at above-average speeds, clocking up to 53mph at one stage - it looks like his three week vacation on that Moroccan canal was a good decision. After this marathon, Einion ended up on the Mauritania coast, just a few miles away from Senegal. It is likely that he went for at least three days without eating during this time.

By September 29th he had started what will hopefully be his last stretch of the migration, inland into Senegal and heading straight for the Gambia, just 140 miles north of the great River.

Einion has travelled over 1,500 miles in just a few days since leaving Casablanca, most of it over desert. Maybe the Moroccan tourist board should sign him up!
