Larry The Cuckoo.

Cuckoo Stocks Reservoir May 2018. Paul Foster.

It was good to recieve this image of Larry the Cuckoo from Paul, the bird he found on 17 May in the Forest of Bowland. 

Quite amazing as, a) the bird arrived back in England in the early hours of the morning on 8 May, to the same area it was tagged, at Stocks Reservoir in the Forest of Bowland, Lancashire, in June 2015 as an adult male Cuckoo, b) this is the very bird Paul chose to sponsor, when he found it last Thursday he said....'I couldn't believe it when I saw the transmitter'....which is just visible in this shot.  

Great stuff Paul, you must have been really chuffed to find this bird....Thanks for sending me the image, much appreciated. 

You can follow through twelve pages of documentation, including a fascinating map which can be played to show routes this bird takes during the spectacular journeys it has made to Africa and back three times since June 2015 Here
