BTO Cuckoo Tracking Project – What have we learned and where are we heading

DR CHRIS HEWSON

The BTO Cuckoo Tracking Project has been running since 2011, has revolutionised our understanding of cuckoo migration and has helped make significant advances in our understanding of bird migration between Europe and Africa more generally. This talk will review the rationale behind the project and how it has evolved as new information has come to light, as well as reviewing some of the major findings, particularly those relevant to understanding the population decline of the species in the UK. Finally, it will outline BTO’s plans for the future, describing how it is moving towards trying to understand how best to try to reverse the population declines as the causes are becoming more apparent.

Welney Warning

Please check road and Welney websites to ensure they are open.
The road at Welney is about to be closed because of flooding. The alternative route from Chatteris is to take the A142 to Ely. Then take the A10 north to Littleport. Then the A1101 that brings you to the bridge on the opposite side of the wash, turn right along the road to WWT. You will need wellies to enter some of the hides which are still open.
