Then it’s a matter of doing a little research on the internet to find who rang the bird you saw, and then emailing the details of your sighting. The repeat sightings reveal a great deal about the bird’s movements, but of course we don’t know where it bred. With luck you will get a speedy reply, telling you the bird’s history.

The idea is to give you a start in the identification process, and of course knowing which species are possible in your area helps narrow the possibilities down further.

Of course, the Common Cuckoo is generally seen in a rather negative way due to its way of dealing with bringing up its chicks. Most scientific research really just proves the obvious.
