Iolo was the first of our Welsh Cuckoos to make a move east, having arrived near Mildenhall, only 20km (12 miles) from BTO HQ, on 7 June - a week after he was tagged near Tregaron! By11 June he had moved 40km (25 miles) north to a location near to Tottenhill, 10km south of King's Lynn. The last transmissions received from Iolo's tag on 16 June indicated that he was still in that area.
