Cores has finally gone for the Sahara crossing but a very different route to the rest. Crossing pretty much the widest section in a NE direction reaching the Mediterranean coast at the Algeria/Tunisia border. Still a way to get home! @NPWSIreland @_BTO @KerryBirdNews 2/3
KP though is breaking new ground. Going from northern Spain he is attempting a direct sea crossing to Ireland. Mongolian Cuckoos were tracked crossing the Indian Ocean, but hasn’t so far been seen in European birds. Will the other Irish birds do the same? @NPWSIreland @_BTO 3/3
