The latest bulletin from the BTO.
"Dear John,
In our last update we told you that Irish Cuckoo Cuach Torc had moved to Greece. Since then he has made quite a journey. By Saturday evening (29 July) he had departed Greece, crossed the Mediterranean and reached northern Libya. He carried on south and by late on Monday (31 July) he was over the Sahara in eastern Chad. By early yesterday morning (3 August) he had reached the Marrah Mountains in Darfur, Sudan. He is currently 40 km (25 miles) west of the town of Kutum. Interestingly, neither Greece nor Sudan have been common destinations for our previously tagged birds. It'll be interesting to see whether Torc remains in the area or continues further south into the Sahel."
