Will Kasper follow Martin? - 02 Apr 2012

We last received a location for Kasper on 26 March. As he was the first of the Cuckoos to head into West Africa at the beginning of his journey, we might expect him to follow Martin across the Sahara in the next few days.

No change from Kasper - 27 Mar 2012

Kasper's tag transmitted yesterday and showed that he has remained at his position within Ivory Coast. There have been no further movements from the other Cuckoos so he remains the most westerly - for now at least!

Kasper the most westerly Cuckoo - 22 Mar 2012

Sometime between the evening of 18 March and the early hours of 21 March, Kasper has moved 500km (304 miles) almost exactly due west into Ivory Coast. He passed Chris and Martin on his way and is now the most westerly Cuckoo. He is 21km (13.5 miles) south-east of the city of Bouaké, the second largest city in Ivory Coast.  He is now just 140km (87 miles) and 185km (115 miles) west of Martin and Chris respectively.

Kasper still near Lake Volta - 19 Mar 2012

Kasper's last transmission on the 18 March showed that he has remained on the north-west shore of Lake Volta, Ghana.

No movement from Kasper - 16 Mar 2012
