October 20
Hello everyone :-)

Previous data
- 19.10, Distance: 3701 km (+ 4 km)
- France: Saliers - a village in the commune of Arles, Département Bouches-du-Rhône, Region Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur

NEW data:
- 20.10, Distance: 3708 km (+ 7 km)
- France: Saliers - a village in the commune of Arles, Département Bouches-du-Rhône, Region Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur

Arvo is in the same area - "Camargue" (map, info viewtopic.php?p=52435#p52435)
Arvo is moving in the Camargue area since 28.09 - marshes and (harvested) rice fields with irrigation canals

Arvo stayed in the nearby rice fields (irrigation canals) and returned to the banks of the Petit Rhône for the night.

-----
The rice is harvested from mid-September to the end of October. The paddy fields are drained to allow harvesters, equipped with caterpillar tracks to collect the rice, and transport it to nearby silos. ... During the rest of autumn and winter, each field is dried and levelled with the aid of a laser-guided blade as the surface must be as flat as possible. Canals and drains are repaired.

- rotating the view with mouse to the right/east - there we see the rice fields where Arvo is foraging in the canal and resting along it
- rotating the view with mouse to the left/west - it is the direction to his night roost, on the trees in the distance
