As suspected, on the 21st, Leri travelled south through Morocco and over the Haut Atlas mountains covering 227 miles. She came to rest by a river and we can only hope she was able to fish here. On the 22nd she flew SW over the Eastern range of the Anti-Atlas Mountains and had covered 115 miles before resting for the night. On the 23rd Leri crossed the border into Algeria and started to travel in a SE direction. She covered 129 miles before roosting for the night. She is now in a rocky, barren stretch of the desert. We hope she will alter her direction to SW and begin to cover further distances during the day. We must hope she has plenty of fuel in the tank to keep her going until she reaches water again.
