Since being tagged as the weather closed-in, prior to some unseasonal snow fall at Haytor late-morning on 14 May, Tor has remained in East Dartmoor, primarily in the Becky Falls area, until 11 June at least. A signal received on the latter date suggested that he might have moved around 20km north-west to a location close to Okehampton during early morning of that day but due to the potential error on that location, further locations will be required to confirm this. 

After a public vote, the Broads Authority, who have funded the cost of the satellite-tag, have chosen to name Cuckoo 128301, Nelson, for its Norfolk associations. Nelson was tagged St Benet's Abbey at Holme on the Norfolk Broads. 

Cuckoo 128296 has received a name from Essex and Suffolk Water, who have made a generous contribution to the project. Staff voted for Ken, after Ken Saul, a volunteer at Burgh Common, the site where the cuckoo was caught, for over 30 years.

Transmissions from the last few days show that all four Cuckoos which have returned to their breeding grounds are still in their respective areas. They are likely to remain in and around these areas looking for breeding opportunities for at least the next month.We now assume Lloyd has perished in Morocco as there is no reason for him to remain in his current position for so long. Last year, the earliest Cuckoo to leave the UK was Chris, on the 11 June, while David and BB left on 18 and Chance on the 22 June. Wallace, one of the birds tagged in Scotland last year, was the last to leave, transmitting from outside the UK on 23 July, just one day later than the last bird, Lyster, in 2011. 

As suspected, David has moved on quickly from his position on the south coast and transmissions received early this morning show that he is back at Tregaron, the site where he was originally tagged. He is the only tagged male Welsh Cuckoo to have made it back. There are concerns for our other Welsh bird, Lloyd, who also wintered in the Democratic Republic of Congo as transmissions show he has not continued on from Morocco. 

Just a few miles now separate Chance and BB, who are both in the area of Loch Katrine. The weather in Scotland has been less favourable than in the south but it is currently sunny and pleasant though wet conditions are forecast over the next few days.
