Leri finally left her Dyfi nest shortly after 07.00 on Tuesday morning, the same day as Monty. She got pushed southeast just like her brother Dulas, who started his migration the day before but not to the same extent. By 10.00 Leri was to the north of Hereford, 15.00 she was over Swindon, and she finally stopped for the day just north of Basingstoke at 17.00. A total distance of 151 miles.

Leri was off early doors the next day and by 11.00 she started her channel crossing over Bognor Regis and made it to France later that afternoon settling for the Wednesday evening just north of Le Harve. On Thursday she made good progress, and by the time the transmitter sent its last signal (for three days), she was south of Paris heading for Le Mans.

It's impossible to say, of course, whether Leri fed during her first two days of her journey. Of the three youngsters, she seemed the most dependent on Monty for food. Her next bunch of signals will go a long way to answering that question, hopefully.
