Welsh Cuckoos getting ready? - 30 Jul 2012

Apart from Indy, there is little news for the Cuckoos tagged in Wales – we have not received any recent locations for Iolo as his tag is not charging well (which might suggest he is soon to head south), Lloyd has moved 45km (28 miles) SW of Turin and David is still in Montenegro.

No change from David, Iolo and Indy - 16 Jul 2012

There has been no movement for three of the Cuckoos tagged in Wales over the past week, with David still stopping over in Montenegro and Iolo and Indy doing likewise in the Po watershed. Lloyd, however, has been up to some very odd movements – see his blog for further details.

A brief pause for Welsh Cuckoos - 09 Jul 2012

In common with the Cuckoos tagged in Scotland and England, over the past week there has been little movement form those tagged in Wales. The exception was Indy who, as reported in his blog last week, moved from France into Italy, joining Iolo and becoming the second Cuckoo to be staging in the Po watershed (Reacher passed though the region very briefly but is now staging close to the border between France and Spain). 115597 is still close to Marseille in France.

Iolo arrives in Italy - 28 Jun 2012

Iolo was lagging behind David, his fellow Welsh Cuckoo. However he has now completed a huge leg of his migratory journey, arriving in northern Italy. Data received from his tag on the 25 confirmed that he was in the Netherlands, however his next transmission on the 27 showed a location just south of Milan. This is the same area that Chris spent 3 weeks in April 2012 on his return journey.

Iolo leaves the UK - 20 Jun 2012
From Kings Lynn to the Netherlands! Locations received for Iolo on the afternoon of 18 June showed that he had moved 340km (211 miles) almost due east from his previous position near Kings Lynn, having crossed the North Sea to a new location in Friesland in the Netherlands. He is now in an area of reclaimed land adjacent to the Ijsselmeer, just south of Koudum.  David has also left the UK.
