My Cuckoo crosses the Sahara.

             My sponsored Cuckoo, Valentine, has now completed his crossing of the Sahara. Here is the latest report from the BTO.   Over the last few days Valentine has made a huge movement south, flying 2,840 km (1,764 miles) from his previous location in southern Spain across the Sahara into Mali. At 05:37 this morning he was in southern Mali, approximately 320 km (199 miles) north-east of the capital Bamoko. In 2019 Valentine first stop after crossing the Sahara was a few hundred miles east in Burkina Faso, where he stayed until mid-November.
