A signal received from Kasper's tag shows that he, like Lyster, has remained on the north-west shore of Lake Volta.

Positions for Kasper received overnight 6/7 March showed that he remains near Lake Volta. Lyster is also now in Ghana, just 30km (18 miles) to the SSW - this is the closest any of the Cuckoos have been to each other since leaving the UK.

 Kasper's tag was picked up by the satellite at 17.20 on 4 March, it showed that he had moved 28km (17miles) south west from his previous position. He is now just west of the northern end of Lake Volta, Ghana. As the first cuckoo to leave Congo, will Kasper be the first to tackle the northward crossing of the Sahara? The next few weeks will tell.

We received a transmission from Kasper's tag yesterday (28 Feb) at 21.12 which showed no further movements and indicated that he was still at the northern end of Lake Volta, Ghana.

Transmissions received yesterday between 7pm and 9pm show that Kasper has continued his journey. He has travelled 390km (242 miles) west from his location in Nigeria and is now in Ghana. He is currently at the northern end of Lake Volta, the largest reservoir by surface area in the world, and the fourth largest one by water volume.
