New movements on the solstice

Today the batch of coordinates brought some exciting news. The youngster (65629) moved south and is now on Sakhalin Island.  We had feared the worst as it was not moving much and cold weather and ice was closing in on it. 
The adult is on Iturup.  If you look back at blogs from last December 2009 -January 2010, you will see that both tagged birds were there at this time last year.
