I suppose there is still a glimmer of hope that his tag has failed but I agree the signs aren't good for Chris

Would you believe that Cuckoo's are starting to make the long journey back? well it appears that 'Peckham' has already started to make a move according to the BTO. http://www.bto.org/science/migration/tracking-studies/cuckoo-tracking/peckham |

Amazing news , Dave I'd not heard of the Cuckoo 'Peckham' ? .. a cross between David Beckham and Chris Packham , perhaps I think CPs cuckoo succumbed last year when no more was heard of it ? |

Good news Dave lets hope plenty of them arrive back here safely. Jen I haven't seen any more updates on Chris since last August when sadly he was presumed dead he has been tagged since 2011 so he certainly made the journey several times. |
