No movement from Markoo - 19 Sep 2016
Markoo seems settled in northwest Nigeria, at what must be his stopover site before heading east towards the Congo rainforest.
Markoo in Nigeria - 06 Sep 2016
Markoo successfully crossed the desert and is currently in northwest Nigeria. He is on the edge of a small river valley twenty miles northwest of Ranko.
Markoo crossing the Sahara - 26 Aug 2016
A location received in the early hours of 25 August showed Markoo on his way across the Sahara. He was in central Algeria and just about halfway through the desert crossing. However, we received a poor quality location around breakfast time on 26 August that suggests he has made it across and is on the southern edge of the desert. We will have to wait for better quality locations to confirm this. Fingers crossed for Markoo.
Markoo has left Suffolk - 12 Jul 2016
Locations received from Markoo's tag around lunchtime on 9 July showed that he was in southern Picardy, in an area of woodland on the outskirts of Braine, northern France. He didn't remain here long, by teatime on 11 July he was in an area of woodland to the west of Lyons in southern France.
Markoo still in Suffolk - 08 Jul 2016
Since he was fitted with his tag, Markoo hasn't left King's Forest. The information recieved from his tag shows that all is well with him, so we would expect him to leave soon.
