My Cuckoo on the move.

A bulletin on my cuckoo JAC which has moved 1,900 miles westard on its return journey to Wales.

 " Our  Cuckoos were all tagged in 2021 so are on their first tracked return migration. We last heard from Llangollen Cuckoo JAC on 20th January when he was deep in the Congo Basin. A new update received at 07:16 on Sunday morning suggest that he has moved 3,058km (1,900 miles) west to Ivory Coast. He is approximately 70km west of Lake Bandama in central Ivory Coast."

PJ knows this part of Central Ivory coast well, having stopped off here on previous northward migrations. We expect him to remain here for a few weeks before embarking on the next leg of his journey.
