17-11-16 The migration routes and current locations of 3 satellite tagged cuckoos

Seeing as it's a quiet day, here's a link to The Bejing Cuckoo Project

This is a satellite tagging project that is revealing the incredible migration routes these Chinese cuckoos take to their wintering grounds. One individual named 'Skybomb Bolt' by local school kids, undertook a single, non-stop journey across the Arabian Sea from India to Somalia. A distance of 3,700km in just under 4 days and he is still on the move.
