This is a cuckoo cache. He can't be bothered to be placed in the
countryside in a wet, dark hole, and much prefers to live inside
other people's warm dry caches. He also likes to travel, so 'flies'
from cache to cache when kindly geocachers take him with them and
place him in a new nest
This cache could be anywhere - check this cache page (and the
recent logs) before leaving on your hunt!
The cache itself is a small (0.2 litre) plastic tub, and
contains a log book and a selection of other small goodies. Please
sign the log book using the pen/pencil from the cache that the
cuckoo is in.
You don't have to move this cache to log it, but please
do try to move it. However, please only take him with you if you
can place him in a new nest within seven days - although this
cuckoo likes to travel, his wings get tired easily when flying
between nests!
Please also email me (Huga) when you take and place the cache so
that I can update the page with his new co-ordinates for the next
person to find him. I will try to update the page the same day as
the cache gets placed in a new cache.
