Puzzling Cuckoo moves.

   BTO have just issued a bulletin on the movements of its tagged Cuckoos in Africa including mine, JAC.

Llangollen Cuckoo JAC has been giving us the run around, an erroneous signal received a couple of weeks ago suggested he had already flown from his wintering grounds in the Congo Basin directly to Ivory Coast. The next signal we received however showed him back east in Cameroon. Over the past week we have received several high quality signals that show that JAC has now made his way to Ivory Coast, albeit at a more leisurely pace than we originally thought! JAC is now in eastern Ivory Coast approximately 107km (66 miles) north east of the capital Yamoussoukro and 89km east of Cuckoo PJ.
