And can you imagine that the young birds make this migration completely on their own? Mother Nature, you have done it again!

The cuckoos have all reached Africa... a fascinating site from the BTO.

First paragraph says: "Our knowledge about what this amazing species does once it leaves the UK
in August
is extremely poor, hampering our ability to explain population changes."
Now, I must continue to read, lest they did not have an editor!!

Well now! 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!!
