Kergu moved not very far to the south along the Jordan river. He is in the area of the Damian (Adam) Bridge. He flew to Tirtsa reservoir (Israel) and back to Zarqa river (Jordan). This area we know very well thanx to Karula (offspring of Karl I and Kaia hatched 2018). He spent the winter there for three years. (Perished in spring 2021 on the way "home" in Turkey. - "... on the night of March 25, Karula probably fell prey to feral dogs")

The Damia Bridge, also known as the Adam Bridge (Hebrew: גשר אדם‎), is a bridge over the Jordan River between the West Bank and Jordan. It is about 50 km north of Jericho and is the location of an Israeli border checkpoint. In Operation Markolet (known as the Night of the bridges) on the night of 16-17 June 1946, the bridge was blown up by Haganah forces.
Nearby, east of the river, is the small mound known as Tell Adamiyeh, which has long been identified as the site of the Biblical City of Adam. (source: (https://www.touristlink.com/jordan/dami ... rview.html)
