Another week and a half passes by and Dulas is still in the exact same region as he has been since arriving in the Gambia at the start of the month. He's familiarising himself with a tributary of the Gambia River around three miles north of the great river itself, and we've started to get multiple waypoints for him. This means that Dulas is starting to find favourite roosting and perching spots that he comes back to over several days.

We have no way of knowing what condition Dulas is in, of course, but we hope that due to the fact he has settled down on this two-mile stretch of the river that he's happy where he is and catching enough fish. He has made a couple of trips onto the Gambia River itself though, as you can see below, but is there too much competition from other adult ospreys here for him to stay? Will his tributary to the north dry up over the winter months?
