Roy leaves Scotland
04 Jul 2012Roy has left Wallace behind in Scotland, and followed the same route as Mungo before him to arrive in the North York Moors National Park.
On 1 July, Roy's satellite tag was transmitting from 10km south of Dumfries. By the evening of 3 July we received data from the North York Moors National Park – this is a movement of 180km (110 miles) in a south-easterly direction. This is the second of our Scottish Cuckoos to arrive in this area and, like Mungo before him, Roy should find plenty of large hairy caterpillars here in the rough grassland adjacent to the heather moorland. Will he continue to follow the same migratory route as Mungo, who is currently in Switzerland?
