Cors Caron cuckoos

Fascinating info from the tracking project: Indy flew a huge distance south from Italy almost to Africa but facing strong headwinds turned round and headed back to North Italy!
 Iolo is making the most of his Italian holiday (as might his namesake!) but has moved south down the peninsula. Huge danger in spending time in the poaching area of northern Italy so I'll be glad when he's in Africa with only the Sahara to worry about.
Not all the cuckoos have taken this route and the link below can be used to access the rest of the group.
