Indy arrives in Surrey - 18 May 2012

Following in the footsteps of the other three male Cuckoos tagged in Wales, Indy has made a huge leap east in recent days. As late as Friday evening (15 June) we received data from his tag to show him north of Tregaron in Wales. This morning (18 June) we received data from Indy's tag in Surrey, half way between Farnborough and Woking, having travelled 245km (153 miles) ESE over the weekend. This means that all of the Welsh males have made an initial movement east from the tagging area - it will be interesting to see if this continues or whether any turn south and take the westerly route in Africa used by Clement and Martin last year.
