Although his tag is not charging well and we are receiving very few good quality locations (as was the case with the other Cuckoos whilst they were at their stop-overs in southern Europe), on Saturday (6 August) Lyster was still in the Parque Naturel del Alto Tajo area. He had been there for just over a week at that time – his tag is due to transmit again this evening when we may get an update if it is charged sufficiently. He is experiencing a pleasant 22°C and bright sunshine.
Stop press! Three signals recieved last night, before his tags charge was depleted, showed Lyster on the move. He has headed off from the Madrid area in a SSW direction, apparently heading towards Gibraltar, by Thursday morning, when his tag is due to transmit again, he could be in Africa. Watch this space!
