Sherwood is poised to cross the English Channel. During the evening of 12 June, we received locations from his tag that showed he had left Sherwood Forest and was on the south coast, just north of Hayling Island. The next time we hear from him he may well be our fifth Cuckoo in France.

Sherwood is on his way

Tagged in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, Sherwood is now on the south coast at Chichester Harbour, 269km (167 miles) south of his tagging site. He might not stay here long but we won't hear from his tag again until Thursday afternoon - will he have crossed the English Channel?
Lambert leading the way.
12 Jun 2018
A series of locations from Lambert's tag on Sunday put him 480km (300 miles) south east of his tagging location in Sussex. He is currently the furthest south of all of our tagged Cuckoos and is in woodland between Mezieres-en-Brenne and Chateauroux in northern central France.
Knepp is on his way

Knepp has left his tagging location on the Knepp Estate in Sussex and is currently in northern France. He has spent the last few days moving around the extensive area of farmland to the north of Voves.
Bowie in France

During the early evening on Sunday we received a series of poor locations from Bowie's tag that suggested he had left the New Forest and was in France. Just before 10pm on the same day we received a good qulaity location that showed he had done just that, and was in woodland just to the south of Orleans, 433km (269 miles) southeast of his tagging location.
