Lloyd in Nigeria

02 Apr 2013

From his position in Central Cameroon on 27 March, Lloyd continued onwards and by the late evening of 29 March he was in the Southwest region of Cameroon. Several hours later, and just minutes after the clocks ticked in to 30 March, he crossed the border and entered Nigeria. He had travelled 330km (205 miles). The next transmission was received early yesterday morning ( 1 April) and showed he had travelled a further 395km (245 miles) across Nigeria and was in the Ondo Region. The closest Cuckoo to Lloyd’s new position is BB who is 300km (180 miles) to the east.
