Read the latest updates from our Cuckoos on their epic migration between the UK and tropical Africa, or track their movements in real-time on our Cuckoo migration map.
New updates received from Trent's tag early this morning show that he has flown 450km (280 miles) West from his last location in Cameroon to a new location in Nigeria.
He is now approximately 10km south of the town of Okada in Edo State, southern Nigeria.
Cuckoo Trent has flown 693km (431 miles) north west from Gabon to Cameroon, making him our most northerly tagged Cuckoo.
He is now a few miles west of the town of Nguti in south-western Cameroon, halfway between Korup National Park and Bangyang Mbo Protected Area.
Over the last few days Trent has continued moving north in Gabon and has just crossed the mighty Ogooue River.
He is now in a forested area approximately 10km north of the small town of Booué in central Gabon.
Over the last couple of days, Worcestershire Cuckoo Trent has made a significant move North.
After 10 weeks in Angola, he has flown 805km (500 miles) north to Gabon.
He is now in a forested area, 42km (26 miles) north of the town of Koulamoutou, the capital of Ogooué-Lolo Province in east-central Gabon. This is the first leg of Trent's return migration to the UK!
Trent is still the most southerly of all our Cuckoos, having made it all the way to Angola.
Over recent days he has flown 100km north from his last location, so he is now 85km (52 miles) due east of the capital Luanda. Cuckoos Chris and PJ both visited Angola and are among our longest lived birds, so hopefully, Trent will have the same luck.
Over the last couple of days Cuckoo Trent has flown 274km (170 miles) south-west from his last location and is now in the Bengo province of Angola.
He is in a forested area close to the south-eastern edge of Angola's Quiçama National Park, approximately 100 miles south-south-east of the capital Luanga.
Over the last few days Trent has been making steady progress south through Angola. He has flown 215km (134 miles), taking him to the north of the Malanje province of northern Angola.
Trent has become the first of our tagged birds to move into Angola this year. Over the last few days he has made a series of short movements south and west, taking him from south-western DRC over the border into north-eastern Angola. He is currently approximately 10km (6.2 miles) south of the town of Quimbele.
Those who have followed the project for longer may recall that for a couple years, northern Angola was the destination of choice for Cuckoo Chris, though he favoured the west, closer to Luanda. It'll be interesting to see where Trent finally settles.
Worcestershire Cuckoo Trent was the third of our Cuckoos to reach the Congo Basin, arriving yesterday (5 October).
He is now in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, approximately 13km north west of the town of Kutu.
