Details:
Belle began his third migration on 17 September. (At this point we should have picked up on Belle being a male and not a female. Females typically begin migrating in mid-August, while males leave in September.) 30 days later he was back on the Madeira, arriving on the 16th of October.
After a boring (that's the way we like 'em) winter, he headed home on 14 March, and 29 days later, on 11 April, he was back home.
