CCI/BTO Cuckoo Day
The Cuckoo is viewed by many as the herald of spring, announcing the changing seasons with its familiar call. The species features prominently in literature, in folk song and, additionally, has proved a popular subject for scientific study.

This Cambridge Conservation Initiative (CCI)/British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) event brings together many of those working on Cuckoos from across a suite of disciplines, providing a wonderful opportunity to discover more about this fascinating bird from the experts.

The event is being hosted at the David Attenborough Building on Pembroke Street, Cambridge, and carries a small charge of £22 (plus booking fee) to cover the costs of refreshments and speaker expenses. We hope that this will be a day full of discussion, inspired by engaging presentations, and we would be delighted if you could join us.
