My sponsored Cuckoo, Selborne, is now on its way back to the New Forset where it was born. Here is the latest report from the tracking satelite.
Selborne leading the way - 01 Feb 2019
Selborne
is in West Africa! On the evening of 31 January Selborne's tag showed
that he was in west southern Ghana. From the information we received it
looks like he took the shortcut across the Gulf of Guinea, a sea
crossing of 1,100km (689 miles). He is now 1,650km (1,000 miles) from
his last location in Gabon and just under 5,000km (3,000 miles) from his
New Forest breeding site, as the Cuckoo flies.
If you would like to follow Selborne's progress as he moves north to the perilous crossing of the Sahara, along with the other twelve tagged cuckoos, go to
