Tracking Cuckoos

The British Trust for Ornithology in an amazing project have satelitte tagged 5 cuckoos and are tracking them across Africa. The cuckoo is in serious decline and our knowledge about what this species does once it leaves the UK in August is extremely poor. To help conserve them the BTO have tracked the routes they take to Africa for the first time. You can see in incredible detail where they are now in real time by zooming in using Goggle Earth on the BTOs website. And below is an exclusive interview with the director of the BTO Andy Clements talking about the project I recorded at the Birdfair at Rutland Water last weekend.
