Cuach Torc goes north!

 The latest bulletin from BTO on my Cuckoo.

 

 

Dear John,


Irish Cuckoo Cuach Torc continues to defy us by not only not getting on with his journey south but instead actually moving north again! He has now left Greece and is back in Albania, having flown 383 km (238 miles) north-west from his last location in Greece. He is currently 23 km (12 miles) west of the Albanian city of Korçë. He is in a river valley close to the village of Marjan in Korçë Province, southern Albania. Last year Torc arrived in north Africa on 29 July and by 3 August had crossed the Sahara. How much longer will he wait before tackling the desert this year?
