Whilst the Cuckoo had been well studied during the breeding season here in the UK, once they head off on migration very little was known about the routes they take or where in Africa they spent the winter months. Previous to this project, there had only been one recovery of a young bird that was found in mid winter in Cameroon – 82 years ago. If we...
The recent development of new 5 g tags meant that we were able to track this species. In an effort to learn more about the routes and stop-over sites used, our first five Cuckoos were fitted with satellite-tags in May 2011. See how we caught the Cuckoos. The tags are solar-powered, transmitting for 10 hours and then going into ‘sleep’ mode for 48 h...
Listen to Phil Atkinson and Chris Hewson talk about the rapid decline of cuckoos, why the tracking project is so important, and how it can help us understand more about the decline and potential solutions to reducing or reversing it. Alternatively, you can read all about what we have learnt from the project so far.
We have learned a lot about the routes taken by our satellite-tagged Cuckoos, and some of the pressures they face whilst on migration. However, the breeding population of Cuckoos in the UK is still rapidly declining, and there is much more to uncover! The Cuckoo Tracking Project is now the only long-term study of avian Afro-Palearctic migration, ma...
