Nov weekend success! Our team managed over 290 resightings of over 130 individual Curlews, Turnstone and Bar-tailed Godwits. This included birds marked by WWRG in the #WashNNR and by projects elsewhere. Fantastically, this included 17 headstarted Curlews (yellow-leg flags)!

It's the WWRG AGM today! It is amazing to see how much so many members do to keep our work going! There were 2198 birds caught in 23/24, 600 resightings of flagged Curlews, a house rewire, scientific papers published, and new projects starting! Fantastic work, everyone!

We are devastated by the sudden and untimely loss of one of our long-standing members, Mark Smart, who died in his sleep on Saturday 3 February. We will miss him terribly. Our thoughts are with those closest to him. https://t.co/S8kKa0O5LN

Check out our latest blog on Curlew avoiding windfarms in the North and Baltic Seas. Data from tagged birds caught across Europe (including the Wash) show us what happens when a Curlew encounters a windfarm. Blog https://t.co/vwulQlJ66r Flagged Curlew by Cathy Ryden

A Curlew caught as part of this project was originally ringed on the Wash - so great to catch one of 'our' birds on the breeding grounds. #Curlew #ornithology #waders
A new project in the Yorkshire Dales aims to protect the breeding habitat of Eurasian Curlew: https://t.co/QwiPj6KuTm

Great work @wilson_bethany_ 😁 A nice selection of birds here and more of their story discovered thanks to colour ringing AND people like you reporting their sightings! Top job 👍
Managed to fully read 8 Black-tailed Godwits at Snettisham. From 🇮🇸🇵🇹🇬🇧🇫🇷🇪🇸.

One success! By my calculations (based on @_BTO paper), we need 10,000 extra #Curlew chicks to fledge every year, if we're going to halt decline in UK numbers. More here: https://t.co/5EVZBNiZFM

There are three ways to increase the number of Eurasian Curlew in the UK; boost chick production across the breeding range, find ways to ensure more chicks recruit to the breeding population and/or…
Last few weeks have been spent monitoring, ringing & radio tracking broods of Curlew. Finally had our first of the year fledge today #SAVCurlews

Amazing news from Greenland 🇬🇱 where a Sanderling is incubating her precious eggs and about to turn 15 years old! 😳 More here ⬇️
I just received word that this famous #Sanderling was found on a nest with 4 eggs in Zackenberg @ZERO74N a few days ago. In exactly one week she will have her 15th birthday and likely will have made 15 return trips Greenland-Namibia. Just amazing!
