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

We can only hope that it is just the tag that has failed.....

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.

Amazing news , Dave :Cool:

I'd not heard of the Cuckoo 'Peckham' ? .. a cross between David Beckham and Chris Packham , perhaps :ha:

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.

The latest news on Stanley.

Stanley moves again - 11 Mar 2016:

Stanley seems to have the wind beneath his wings, since lunchtime on 8 March he has travelled a further 793km (493 miles) west to Ivory Coast, flying over Benin, Togo and Ghana on the way. He is Currently close to the River Komoé, 60km (37 miles) from the border with Ghana.
