Common cuckoos (Cuculus canorus) spend their winters in Africa and migrate to the U.K. in the spring to breed, typically arriving in late April and early May, 

Now, scientist have dIscoveded that a cockoo called  PJ just broke their record, by flying ten times across the  Sahara,.  It is a  distance of  80, 000 kilometrec or 50, 000 miles. 

 “To better understand why cuckoo populations are declining, the BTO launched the Cuckoo Tracking Project in 2011 to tag and monitor the birds during their intercontinental migration. The team placed a satellite tag on PJ in 2016, as a part of the tracking project.”

Flving  birds are a hazard to Darvisists. How could they pick the spot that they’re headed to in a world devoid of senses?
