The Hard Shoulder
A cuckoo has landed in Kerry for the third year in a row after flying over 9,000 kilometres from Ghana. The bird has been named by the National Parks and Wildlife Service as Cuach Cores. Cuach is the Irish for cuckoo and Cores is a mountain in Killarney National Park.
But, how rare is it for this bird to end up here?
Joining Shane to discuss this is Sam Bailey, Conservation Ranger & Lead of the Cuckoo Tagging Project.
