Great news!!!! 
This is an excerpt from yesterdays BTO cuckoo tracking site..... time to dust off my fly fishing gear!!!!
"Lancashire Cuckoo Larry is home! We last heard from Larry on April 14 when he was in northern Algeria. An update received from Larry’s tag at 05:48 this morning showed that he had covered 2,035 Km (1,264 miles) and is now back at his breeding grounds in the Forest of Bowland, Lancashire. Larry was tagged here in June 2015 so his successful return means he has now completed four full migration loops from Lancashire to his wintering grounds in Angola and back again. In completing each of his loops he covered approximately 16,000 Km (9,940 miles) so we have followed him over at least 64,000 Km (39,770 miles) – what a bird!"
