JAC
The latest bullletin from the BTO on its tagged cuckoos, including my JAC.
Approximately 600 km (372 miles) east of this group of Cuckoos and over
the border in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are three of our other
birds. Llangollen Cuckoo JAC is 500km due east of Calypso,
currently close to the town of Bolomba on the Ikelemba River in north
west DRC. Just 70 or so km away to the south east is Trossachs Cuckoo Ellis. Sherwood Cuckoo AJ
is also in DRC, approximately 385 km south of JAC and Ellis. He is on
the western edge of the North Salongo National Park. This very isolated
area which is only accessible by boat is Africa's largest tropical
rainforest reserve. Here AJ could be crossing paths with endangered
species like the Congo Peacock, Pygmy Chimpanzee or the Bush Elephant.
