George 2 has reached Mali. (George 2 is a cuckoo) The amazing phenomenon of bird migration, tracked in (roughly) real time. www.bto.org/our-science/...

I heard loads of cuckoos this year – George 2 was up my way. Maybe it was him. strawdnry journey

Absolutely phenomenal!

technology is so cool

Our cuckoos have just arrived here in Sydney. Terrible call, like a pterodactyl from a Ray Harryhausen film.

Backtracked to France to pick up some duty free vin rouge and Camembert, obviously.

“Oh the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird, she singeth as she flies.” I’ve never seen one and I don’t ever recall hearing one. This is fantastic.

Quite why George decided to go back to France after reaching central Spain will likely remain a mystery. Perhaps he left the iron on. I’m glad he came to his senses.

It was only this week that I learnt that cuckoos were migratory, so this interesting to see.

This is just so amazing. Gilbert White would have been gob-smacked (fairly certain that's a phrase he would have used!).
