Lyster moves eastwards
Lyster still in Mali
Messages received on Monday put Lyster still in Mali. He has now been in this area for fifteen days.
Martin heads south
Messages received from Martin three days ago showed that he had moved 350km SSE. He is now near the southern border of Central African Republic and close to the edge of the Congo Rainforest, the second largest area of rainforest in the world. Could this be his final winter destination? At this stage we don't really know. Watch this space.
No movement from Chris
Messages received two days ago show that Chris is still in southern Chad.
No change for Kasper
Three low quality messages from Kasper on 26 September show that he is still in the Bayan Dutsin Forest Reserve, Nigeria.
No movement from Clement

Chris still in no hurry
Chris is still in southern Chad and like the other three closest cuckoos is only making short flights around the immediate vicinity.

Kasper staying put
The latest message from Kasper shows that he is still in the Bayan Dutsin Forest Reserve, and making very short feeding forays around his immediate vicinity.
