The Steppe eagle we are tracking has pushed quickly south. It is now in northern Saudi Arabia, near the town of Arar. Below is a map of the eagle's movements since 1 September. Since then it has travelled over 2000 km; straight-line distance is about 1500 km.
[Interesting note: According to Wikipedia, Arar got its name from the original oil field that existed before the town, "Field RR", known by the locals as "R.R.", which later became ʿArʿar.]
