Just when I was tiring of looking at week after week of Assamo staying in and around Adigala, Ethiopia, he varied his behaviour just a bit. During 5-19 November, most of the activity was in the vicinity of Adigala, but on 10-11 November Assamo headed northeast as far as the Djibouti border near
Dewele, a move of about 100 km, one way. At one point Assamo was < 500 m from being back in Djibouti.

Also, electrical infrastructure including pylons can pose threats to vultures, but they are also ideal perching locations. See below.
