Five Cuckoos safely home

Location of BTO satellite-tagged Cuckoos on 6 May 2016

Five of our satellite-tagged Cuckoos have made it safely back to their breeding grounds. Stanley, Coo, Peckham, Larry and David are all back but sadly it looks like the cold spell last week claimed Vigilamus. Welsh Cuckoo Disco Tony is still on his way back and is currently in northern Spain. Keep an eye on the maps to see if he joins David back in Wales over the coming days.
