We would like to welcome 146760 to the Welsh Cuckoo team.
The new boy to the Cuckoo team was caught and tagged at Tregaron on Friday 12th
June, by BTO’s Chris Hewson and Mid Wales ringer Tony Cross. When he was caught he was aged as an 2nd
summer male and was a very healthy weight of 125 gms
146760 has already begun his migration is currently crossing
France and was on the last data update mid-way across France heading towards
Montpellier.
Will he be the first of the welsh tagged birds to take the more
direct westerly route, or will be go east via Italy
David the surviving welsh Cuckoo from the class of 2012 is
still in the hills south of Tregaron, and still in the area he was originally
caught and tagged.
146760 is a bit of a mouthful and he has been given a nick
name by BTO staff until he can be officially named. A quick read of Tony's blog will tell his temporary name.
For more details on 146760 and the other Cuckoos go to hereon the BTO website
