Male cuckoos are amazing. They winter in places like Senegal and then migrate all the way to the UK. Set up a territory, hopefully attract a mate. Do the necessary and then that's that. Back to Senegal.Up at Sheepstor this morning. At least 3 cuckoos

Can’t blame them really.....Male cuckoos are amazing. They winter in places like Senegal and then migrate all the way to the UK. Set up a territory, hopefully attract a mate. Do the necessary and then that's that. Back to Senegal.
Males typically spend only about 6 weeks on territory in UK

They seem to regard themselves as British, staying in Senegal as their winter getaway. Can't wait to leave Senegal. But once back home in Britain, can't wait to get back to Senegal. It's a paradoxInteresting.
But got to ask.
Why don't they just stay in senegal?
