I am not sure if we should have separate threads for Rothes and Mallachie. If people feel we should the best start them right away.
The first data has been published on Google Earth and immediately it is amazing how much further Rothes has flown that Mallachie.

The latest coordinates we have for Rothes are from 1 pm on Sunday, when she was at the sturgeon farm.
I've been updating her page with details and screenshots from Google Earth.
Thanks for that Katie. This is all so exciting isn't it? :)
Katie Thank you. Those updates are great. Has the media been alerted to welcome Rothes home?
Thank you Katie. We will have to hurry up with the ' Welcome Home' banners. Not forgetting the choir singing Linda's song.
Great words Linda.
the last point I have on Google earth was 2nd July. Does anyone know where she is now ?
JenW : The latest fix for Rothes was at 1pm on 3rd July at Dr Alan Jones sturgeon farm:
GE Street View is available on the roads surrounding the Rothes roost (the fish farm), but not on the very small roads leading up to the site entrance. They give a good selection of views of the area. I believe these were added to GE only recently, for this part of France. Also for those who do not know, Rothes is not fishing there, as the sturgeon ( from which caviar is harvested ) are too large to be caught, weighing 10 to 15kg.
