A good signal from Hennah
30 Jun 2015
Cookie in Italy

Newly named Cuckoo, Cookie, is on the northern edge of the Po Valley and the southern edge of the Italian Alps. He is currently 1,244km (773 miles) from his tagging location in the Lune Valley.
Coo on his way
30 Jun 2015
Newly named Cuckoo Coo is on his way and is currently in the Po Valley, Northern Italy, 50km (30 miles) southwest of Milan and 1,240km (772 miles) from his tagging location on the North York Moors.

Vigilamus is in southern France. He is currently 145km (90 miles) northwest of Monaco.
Stanley still in southern France
30 Jun 2015
Stanley is stll in the area of southern France that he arrived in just over a week ago. He is currently on the northeast edge of the Camargue.
Dudley in Spain
30 Jun 2015
Dudley is leading the way south and is currently our most southerly Cuckoo. He is in northern Spain, just northeast of Cantaviejo. He arrived here in the early hours of 27 June.
Hennah's tag failing
26 Jun 2015
Hennah's tag battery is damaged and appears to be failing - consequently we have not received a good quality location from it recently although poor quality locations showed him in France on 16 June and heading south to Italy a few days ago.
Livingstone moved to inactive
26 Jun 2015
We haven't received signals from Livingstones's tag since March and do not know whether he failed to return to the UK this year or whether his tag has stopped working. Everything was well according to the last signal received but it is unlikely that we will receive any further information about his journey now so he is being moved to inactive.
Emsworthy alive and well?
26 Jun 2015
It's unlikely that we will receive further signals from Emsworthy given the long period of silence, however, there is reason to believe that he is still alive. A Cuckoo was sighted in May by a member of the public with a non-functioning tag in Dartmoor. It's likely that, although we won't be able to follow his journey, it is not the end of the road for Emsworthy.
Three more Cuckoos in France
25 Jun 2015
Nine Cuckoos (plus Hennah whose tag has still not sent a good quality location) have now left the UK and seven of these (plus Hennah) are currently in France. The most recent three to have transmitted from France are new Welsh Cuckoo 146760, and Sherwood Cuckoos Jake and Dudley. Jake is currently in Burgundy, while 146760 is further south in the Auvergne region and Dudley is even further south in Toulouse.
It's interesting to note that Dudley left about a week later this year compared to 2014 while Jake left two weeks earlier.
