You know, everyone knows that bird sound.
You know, if you speak to anybody, they know quack, quack and cuckoo.
And that's kind of, you know, it's where we start.
So it's really kind of ingrained in us.
And they are such a mysterious bird.
They have that very, very different way of nesting.
You know, they're taking other birds' nests and things.
So they're a mysterious and curious bird that we just somehow have some connection with.
So every year we catch and satellite tag a new batch of birds.
And most years we get people who sponsor these birds or name them.
They'll be after their grandparent or some inspirational figure.
And we had one spare this year and we didn't have a name for it.
And so I was thinking about who we could
can give it to or gift it to.
And it just made real sense that we could ask Sean Bean if he was interested in having a cuckoo named after him, because this particular cuckoo was ringed in Northern Scotland where we did three birds this year.
But he took a really interesting route.
I mean, one of the other Scottish birds and he both crossed the North Sea, which we'd never really seen that regular.
He must go down through the country.
And then one went to Denmark and then down into Germany.
But then Bean continued across Denmark into Sweden, right down to Southeast Sweden, crossed the Baltic Sea and into Poland.
