Stanley has made a huge movement of 740km ( 460 miles) and travelled to the northern edge of the Congo rainforest. This is the first step of his migration home and he is now around 250km (150 miles) further north than the nearest Cuckoo, Derek, and 1350km (845 miles) further north than the most southerly of our Cuckoos, Chris. Our Cuckoos seem to move to the forest edge to feed up for a while before then heading into west africa.
In previous years David has also made his move as early as the end of January to the forest edge while BB and Chris have moved in February and early March.
