Wingston continues to explore the Congo and has headed further south in recent days. 

He is currently close to the Léfini Faunal Reserve, a designated Important Bird Area due to the large numbers of birds present in its swamp forests, wooded grasslands and wetlands. 

In recent days, Arthur has left his chosen spot in north-eastern Benin, where he has spent the last few weeks. He has flown approximately 815 km (506 miles) to the south-east, sweeping across Nigeria and has just popped over the border into Cameroon.  

He is currently in the Takamanda National Park, a vast protected area set up in 2008 to help protect the endangered Cross River gorilla.

Joe moved south-east on 17 October, flying around 240 km (150 miles) deeper into the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 

Currently in the immense tropical rainforests on the northern banks of the Busira River, Joe is just 36 km west of Cuckoo Sayaan!

Frederic spent the last couple of weeks in Mali after making his epic, if somewhat late, Saharan crossing. He has sprung into action in recent days and has covered an impressive distance of almost 1,500 km (930 miles). 

Heading south-west, he flew across northern Burkina Faso, then through the southern tip of Niger, and is now in central north Nigeria. He is currently just south of Kano, the second largest city in Nigeria. 

A week ago, Jim was in south-central Nigeria. In a few days he has flown more than 1,000 km (620 miles) and is now in the immense Ivindo National Park, Gabon. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the park is home to a wide range of wildlife including Western Lowland Gorilla, Chimpanzee, African Golden Cat, Grey-necked Rockfowl and Grey Parrot. 

In the last week Norman, our only current Scottish tagged Cuckoo, has moved further into the rainforest, and is now in western Republic of the Congo, close to the southern Gabon border. 

At the moment, he is our southern-most Cuckoo having travelled around 7,500 km (4,660 miles) since leaving Loch Lomond back in June!

Following a lengthy post-Saharan rest in Chad, Joe has now continued south and having flown through Central African Republic and northern Republic of the Congo, is now in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 

His latest signal places him in the huge Ngiri Triangle Nature Preserve, where vast tracts of swamp forest provide a home for a wide range of wildlife.   

Wingston has moved from his temporary home in Central African Republic in recent days and has headed south into the Republic of Congo.

He is currently deep in the inaccessible Lac Télé Community Reserve, a vast protected area home to a significant population of Western Lowland Gorillas and designated an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International.

Since crossing the Sahara in late July, Norman spent August and September in an area just to the east of Lake Chad, near the town of Massakory.

In recent days he has made his way south, covering almost 1,500 km (930 miles) as he flew through Cameroon, and down along the border between Gabon and Republic of the Congo. 

As of late last night (6 October) he was deep in the remote rainforests to the south of Mwagna National Park, home to Forest Elephant, Western Lowland Gorilla, Leopards and a wide range of reptiles, invertebrates and birds.    

Following a protracted stay in western Nigeria, Jim took flight again on October 2 and has now moved further into the country. 

Flying around 340 km (211 miles) south-east, he crossed the Niger near the town of Ohunene, in Kogi State, and is now on the eastern side of the mighty river. Jim is currently just to the north of the Southern Adoru Forest Reserve.
