Cuach Torc. |
Following the untimely death of Cuach Carron, which never managed to leave the area where it was born, I have adopted a new Cuckoo, Cuach Torc, which comes from southern Ireland, and is now well on its way to its African wintering grounds, Here is the latest bulletin from the BTO.
After about a week on the Adriatic coast close to Ravenna in northern Italy, Cuach Torc has flown 530 km (329 miles) south-east, across the Adriatic Sea.
Having initially made landfall on the border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, he has since moved further inland into Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He is now nearby the town of Bileca in East Herzegovina, close to the border with Montenegro.
