     My Cuckoo, Valentine, is now covering large distances in Africa.  Here is the latest bulletin from the BTO.

      Valentine has also been busy over recent days. Since our last update he has flown 1,351 km (811 miles) east from Burkina Faso to Nigeria. He is 3.5 km (2.2 miles) north of the town of Bebeji in Kano State in northern Nigeria. In 2019 he stayed in Burkina Faso until mid-November, not reaching Nigeria until 24 November so it is interesting that he has moved east so much earlier this year.
