Cuckoo Tracking Project | BTO - British Trust for Ornithology
Help us track Cuckoos and learn even more about their epic migration. We’ve been satellite-tracking Cuckoos since 2011. We’ve learned lots of vital information, such as how the different migration routes are linked to declines, and some of the pressures Cuckoos face whilst on migration, but there is still much more to discover.

About the Cuckoo Project | BTO - British Trust for Ornithology
The Cuckoo Tracking Project is now the only long-term study of avian Afro-Palearctic migration, making it even more vital for our work to continue. From 2024, we will be tagging birds near Ullapool – our most north-westerly location yet – to investigate how the survival rates of birds from the uplands compare with that of birds from the ...
Cuckoo Tracking Project | BTO - British Trust for Ornithology
Help us follow Cuckoos on migration and discover why they are in decline. We’ve been satellite-tracking Cuckoos since 2011 to find out why they are in decline: Since 1995, the number of Cuckoos has decreased by over 30%. The Cuckoo is currently Red-listed as a Bird of Conservation Concern in the UK. Support this project by sponsoring a Cuckoo >
