Now, I must continue to read, lest they did not have an editor!! Title: Re: Tracking Cuckoos (UK) Post by: Donna on 15-Sep-11, 08:35:33 AM Why do they leave so early? In June?

First para says August is when they leave - then further down, it says they left in June and July! So we are both right, Donna - and the BTO needs editing!!
