I do love a bit of bird tracking. This is ace. Migration is an endlessly fascinating topic, and it seems the more answers we get, the more questions are raised.

As Ed Miliband leaves his post as energy and net-zero secretary, a final tally: There have been an incredible 251 newspaper editorials attacking him and his approach to net-zero since the start of 2024 That amounts to two editorials a week, mainly in the Sun, Daily Mail, Times and Daily Telegraph.

Cuckoos are go! BTO satellite tagged Cuckoos are well on their way to the forests of Central Africa. Two have already crossed the Sahara while our most northerly bird is Bean, who's in Germany. Follow their progress: www.bto.org/get-involved/volunteer/projects/cuckoo-tracking getbird.ing

Image shows a map depicting the current location of satellite tagged Cuckoos, along with photos of three Cuckoos. The caption 'Cuckoos are go!' is placed on the image, and refers to the fact that these birds are in the process of migrating south to Africa. This is part of BTO's Cuckoo Tracking Project.
