Well it has taken a bit of time but our flapping flock of paper birds arrived in Uganda this week!
Travelling more slowly than your average corncrake they have squawked across Europe, the Mediterranean, North Africa and finally arrived at the Equator to land in the laps of 12-year old Arthur and his schoolmates.
We have yet to hear what Arthur thinks of this unexpected flock. Or indeed what the flock thinks of northern Uganda, after its winter in the Hebrides, the highlands and London. Those birds definitely deserve a rest.
