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: wadertales.wordpress.com/2021/06/12/mor… Mary Colwell Kane Brides Dr Samantha Franks Curlew Country

Great work Bethany Wilson 😁 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 👍

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

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. wwrg.org.uk/mark-smart

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!

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)!
