Updates from our Cuckoos

Whortle is settledin the rainforest to the north east of Lake Mai-Ndombe in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We last heard from him at 16.12 on 9 December.

Stanley is still settled in the swamp forest of the Tumba Lediima Natural Reserve, although he has moved 25km (15 miles) to the north and west.

Since arriving in the rainforest Livingstone has moved south and is now on the southern edge of the rainforest. He is now amongst the most southerly of all our tagged Cuckoos.

Jake is still settled in the area of Lake Tumba in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Fred is in Congo, close to the border with Democratic Republic of Congo and 88km (54 miles) north west of Lake Tumba. We last heard from him at 09.06 on 17 December.

Dudley is still settled in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and still close to the river. We last heard from him at 05.17 on 15 December.

Since arriving in the Democratic Republic of Congo, David has moved further south and is now on the southern edge of the rainforest. We last heard from in at 23.48 on 18 December.

Since arriving in Angola Chris has moved another 178km (110 miles) further south and west. He seems to be heading towards Luanda and the area that he spent last winter in. We last heard from him at 17.56 on 18 December.

Since arriving in Gabon Chester has settled in an area of rainforest in the north west of the country, close to the border with Equatorial Guinea. His last location signal was at 06.30 on 19 December.

Ash and Hennah have recently left Lake Mai. Hennah travelled 520km (325 miles) to the west, and in doing so moved to Gabon, while Ash moved 310km (195 miles) north-east. This may be due to slightly dryer conditions during November. Gabon appears to be experiencing wetter  conditions so Hennah may have made a good move.
