Wallace moves into Germany

30 Jul 2012

On Saturday morning (28 July) Wallace was still in Picardie but according to a series of unconfirmed locations, by the early hours of this morning (30 July) he had moved 390km (243 miles) ESE to a location in extreme south-western Germany. If these prove to be correct, he is approximately 23km (13 miles) NE of the Petite Camargue Alsacienne - a research station in the south-eastern corner of France where Valentin Amrhein and his group from University of Basel have undertaken exciting research on the function of Nightingale song. He appears to be in a forested landscape to the east of the river valley containing the Nightingales.
