A couple of high-quality locations received during the early morning of 4 April show that Lambert didn't hang around in Nigeria. In the last few days he has headed west out of Nigeria, across Benin and into Togo. He is currently just to the south of the village of Adedakope and in the Tchiela Monata Forest and close to the Amou River. During this movement he has flown 704 km (437 miles).

Where's Lambert?
18 Mar 2019
We haven't heard from Lambert since 7 March but at the time the information from his tag shows he was alive. However, the battery charge was quite low. At the time he was still in southern Congo but it will be interesting to see if he pops up further north and west, hopefully once his tag recieves more charge.
Lambert moves north
04 Mar 2019
Lambert is still our most southerly tagged Cuckoo but he has begun to move north. In the early hours of 3 March his tag placed him in southern Congo, 366km (228 miles) north and east of his coastal stopover location in Angola.
Lambert still in Angola

We are receiving some good quality locations from Lambert’s tag that show he is alive and moving around the area of coastal Angola he has been in for the last three weeks.
Lambert still in coastal Angola
14 Feb 2019
Lambert seems settled in Angola, for now, but it might not be too long before he begins the long journey back. Currently our most southerly Cuckoo, Lambert is just under 3,500km (just over 2,000 miles) behind Selborne who is leading the pack and is in Guinea, West Africa.
Lambert has moved
07 Feb 2019
Lambert has moved 134km (83 miles) to the north and west and is currently just to the south of the coastal town of Soyo, Angola. He is in an area of forest that another of our tagged Cuckoos, Bowie, used a month ago.
Lambert clocks in
01 Feb 2019
During the evening of 29 January we received two locations that show Lambert hasn't moved but is alive and well.
