No movement from Peckham

20 Jan 2016

We last heard from Peckham on 13 January. The location recieved showed that he was still in the area of Gabon in which he has spent most of the winter. Hopefully we will get an update from him soon.

Larry back in DRC

20 Jan 2016

Having spent the last two months in Angola, Larry is now back in DRC, moving 639km (397 miles) north-east. He is currently 80km (50 miles) east of the border with Congo.

Disco Tony back in Gabon

20 Jan 2016

We haven't heard from Disco Tony since 13 January but at that time he had moved north back into Gabon, around 60km (35 miles) north-east of his previous location in Gabon.

No news from David

20 Jan 2016

We haven't heard anything from David since mid-December when he was located in southern DRC. We are not too concerned at this stage as Cuckoos often go missing for a few weeks only to pop up again. Hopefully, David is feeding up in preparation for a northward movement.

Coo has moved north

Coo has moved north and is now 400km (250 miles) north-west of his mid-winter location in the DRC. He is currently just north of Lac Tumba and will be preparing for his next move north and west and the beginning of his long journey back to the UK.
