Two remain in Scotland - 27 Jun 2012

Both Wallace and Roy remain in Scotland whilst the three other Scottish birds are currently in Europe. Transmissions received yesterday indicated that Wallace was heading southwards. He moved 30km (20 miles) from his position between Irvine and Troon and was close to the village of Patna. From here he headed off in a south-easterly direction, flying 110km (70miles) before transmitting from Canonbie. He is very close to the Scottish-English border.

Roy remains near Dumfries - 20 Jun 2012

On Monday morning (18 June) Roy was still close to his tagging location, having returned there briefly from Flanders Moss. Locations received this morning (20 June) show that he has moved south to an area of forestry immediately to the south-east of Dumfries.

Roy tagged 16 May - 16 May 2012

One of the five Scottish cuckoos, Roy had his satellite tag fitted on 16 May at Glen Gyle, Loch Katrine, Stirling. Being at least two years of age he is an adult male. For the first 28 days after tagging he was settled in the Loch Katrine area.
