An update from BTO on the migratory travels of my Cuckoo Valentine arrived in my inbox today .
Our Cuckoos have now reached their wintering areas. It is amazing to see that having been tagged within a stone's throw of each other, Norfolk Cuckoo Valentine and Suffolk Cuckoo PJ were separated by 3,780km (2,349 miles) in August but are now again within 15km (9.3 miles) of each other in northern Angola. They are approximately 70 km (43 miles) north east of the capital Luanda. PJ and Valentine have wintered in this area in previous years and if conditions are good, they may well stay in this area untill late February/early March.
