My Cuckoo flies south.

Cuckoo. Valentine.

My sponsored Cuckoo, Valentine, has left this country on its annual migration south and is now in south east Spain, 41 km (26 miles) north west of the town and seaport of Aguilas, feeding up in prepararation for its long flight across the Sahara.

This bird was tagged in 2019 and so has already completed one round trip from its birthplace in Norfolk to Central Africa and back.

I would have prefered to have sponsored one of this year's hatch, but BTO, understandably, seem to have been unable to attempt to capture and attach transponder tags to any of the new birds.
