Updates from our Cuckoos

On the evening of 20 June, Larry was still at his tagging site in the Forest of Bowland, Lancashire. On the evening of 22 June he was 1,554km (964 miles) south east of that location and in Slovenia. Having moved a little further south since, he is currenlty on the Croatian island of Cres. He stopped here in 2017, arriving on 22 June, this year he arrived there a day later. In 2017 he remained on the island until 17 July before moving to southern Italy.

During the evening of 21 June we received a series of locations from Sylvester's tag that showed he was in northern France, in the area of the Somme close to Amiens.

Having spent a bit of time around the Hayling Island area in Hampshire, Sherwood is now in northern France and is moving around pockets of woodland on the banks of the Seine, close to Gaillon.

Having successfully completed a full migration to and from Africa Selborne is on his way again. He is currently in the area he used as a stopover last year and close to Chateaubriant.

Robinson has left Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, and has flown 540km (336 miles) southeast into northern France. He is currently moving around an area of wooded valleys south of Chamouille.

Raymond has left the Knepp Estate in Sussex and is in northern France, just to the north of Cergy and 35km (21 miles) northwest of Paris.

Having spent 9 days in woodland just to the south of Orleans, Bowie has moved again. On 19 June we recieved locations from his tag that put him in woodland 175km (108 miles) further south and east, a few kilometers southeast of Louroux-Hodement. He is now over 600km from his tagging site.

Victor is in France, having arrived late evening on 17 June. He is using the same area of woodland close to Chateauroux, that Lambert used on his way south.

For a short while it seemed that Thomas might be overtaken by Lambert but this wasn't to be, Thomas is still currently our most southerly Cuckoo, having moved 222km (138 miles) further south. He is on the Mediterranean coast close to Narbonne.

Sylvester was tagged in Thetford Forest on 3 June. A few days later he left the forest and has spent most of his time since then in the Fens between Littleport, Feltwell and Southery.
