A cuckoo has returned to the UK after completing a record-breaking trip from Africa that is being logged for research into the declining species.
PJ was given a satellite tag in the King s Forest, Suffolk, in 2016 and has since travelled more than 50,000 miles.
The bird has repeatedly crossed the Sahara and mountain ranges, the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) said.
PJ is the first satellite-tagged cuckoo to clock-up 50,000 miles since research began, the BTO said.
