This is an exciting and ground-breaking project and you can play a vital part in making it a success.
JAC the Cuckoo

The longer this project can continue, the greater our understanding of the challenges faced by Cuckoos on migration. 

How you can help

In order to continue and develop the project we need continued funds. You can make a donation to BTO, or you can choose a Cuckoo to sponsor. 

Thank you to all our funders who have so generously supported the project and enabled us to learn so much.

Additional thanks 

The catching team comprised BTO staff: Chris Hewson and Phil Atkinson and volunteer BTO ringers: Paul Noakes and Justin Walker. Kasper Thorup and Mikkel Kristensen from the Natural History Museum of Denmark have kindly advised this project and assisted with the fieldwork. Raymond Klaassen from Lund University advised us when planning the project. Thanks to all the land owners who gave us permission to catch on their land and apologies if we didn't catch a Cuckoo - it can be challenging.
