Updates from our Cuckoos

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.

Since arriving back in the forest in April, Selborne has remained in the area around his tagging site. He is currently using the area of forest between Beaulieu and Brockenhurst.

Since being tagged on 15 May, Robinson has remained close to his tagging site in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, but it could only be a matter of time before he begins his long journey south.
