My Cuckoo across Sahara

My sponsored Cuckoo, after lingering on the southern edge of the Sahara for a few weeks, has suddenly taken wing northwards.  The latest bulletin reads:-

Selborne has made it to Spain - 04 Apr 2019
A series of locations from Selborne's tag during the early hours of 3 April showed that he was in southern Spain, just to the west of Antequera. However, a set of poor locations received around breakfast on 4 April suggest that he had moved on and was 118km (73 miles) further north and east and close to the town of Lopera. Since leaving the Guinea Highlands on the evening of 31 March he has travelled 3,294km (2,047 miles). We will have to wait for high quality locations to confirm his most recent stopover and for it to update on his map.
He should be back in the New Forest very soon .
