Part (a) is a photo of an adult male cuckoo. It is grey in colour with a barred patterning on its underparts. The base of the beak and the feet are yellow and the eyes are also surrounded by a yellow ring. Part (b) of this figure is a simplified map of Europe and northwest Africa which shows the migration routes of four individual cuckoos. All the routes originate in eastern England, pass through Europe and then across the Mediterranean into northwest Africa and back again.
