Trent
07 Jun 2023
Trent was caught close to the village of Ryall in south Worcestershire, at a time when the tagging team had all but given up hope of catching anything that day.
With rain threatening on the evening of 19 May, they spotted a Cuckoo dropping down to the ground near their mist nets as it attempted to avoid a Meadow Pipit, which was mobbing it.
As the team moved in for a closer look, the Cuckoo reappeared and flew straight into their net.
Since being tagged Trent has remained in the same area.
