I think I highlighted this on my blog last year. This is just amazing stuff - it really is. Open up the above link and read about the tagged cuckoos and where they are now! For example 'Lyster' has just arrived back on 1st May in Norfolk where he was first caught and tagged last year and has travelled 10399.7 miles since he was tagged in Norfolk in 2011!!! http://www.bto.org/science/migration/tracking-studies/cuckoo-tracking/lyster
