Bluey heads north to Mali
Bluey has set off north from southern Guinea and crossed the border into Mali after a 597km (371 miles) journey.
He is now in the south west of the country, near the village of Tonbokoli, to the west of Bafing National Park.
Joe crosses into Ivory Coast
Joe has flown 111km (69 miles) west from Ghana into Ivory Coast.
He is now 8km (5 miles) north-west of the town of Ettrokro in east-central Ivory Coast.
Cuach Cores on the move
Cuach Cores has flown 210km (130 miles) north within the Congo Basin of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
He is now in the Maringa-Lopori-Wamba Forest Landscape, one of the least developed and remotest parts of the Congo Basin. Cores is surely on his way to west Africa now so we should see him moving on from here fairly soon.
Cuach Torc moves west
New updates received over the last few days show that Cuach Torc has left the Congo and flown 2,102km (1,306 miles) west to Ghana.
He is now in western Ghana, a few miles east of Bui National Park and the Bui Gorge Reservoir.
Joe moves west
Over the last few days Joe has flown 1,443km (897 miles) west, taking him out of Cameroon and into Ghana, via Nigeria, Benin and Togo.
His route has taken him across the north end of Lake Volta and onwards west towards the town of Kintampo in the Bono East Region of Ghana.
In 2023 Joe made this same move west two weeks earlier, arriving in Ghana on 27 Feb. He then remained around the Ghana/Ivory Coast border until early April before popping up again in southern France on 9 April and returning to the UK on 24 April.
Joe is heading west
New updates received from Joe's tag early this morning show that he has flown 636km (395 miles) north west through Cameroon. He is now approximately 75km east of the city of Bafoussam in the West region of Cameroon.
KP shifts south in Ivory Coast
Since our last update KP has shifted south and is now close to the town of Agboville in south-eastern Ivory Coast.
Bluey reaches Guinea
New updates received early this morning show that Bluey has flown 2,650km (1,647 miles) west from his last location in Cameroon to his new location in southern Guinea.
He is now 50km north-east of the city of Kissidougou and approximately 100km west of Cuckoo Trent.
Sayaan reaches Ivory Coast
Sayaan was clearly just passing through Nigeria as new updates show that he pressed on to Ivory Coast.
He is now in south-eastern Ivory Coast, close to the village of Kotogwanda and just 100km north-west of Cuckoo KP.
Trent nudges North in Guinea
Trent has flown 100km (62 miles) north and west in Guinea so he is now some 25km east of the town of Kerouane in the Kankan region of eastern Guinea. He remains the most westerly of our tagged Cuckoos.
