| Colour-ringed Black-tailed Godwit - Blythburgh, Tuesday 19th August 2025 |
Still reading rings and reporting colour-ringed birds. I don't stop to be honest. Just a total beast.
The latest ornithological triumph is this colour ringed Black-tailed Godwit seen on my beloved Blythburgh patch last week. It was colour ringed red with white spots on the left leg and green, black then yellow above the knee on the right leg.
The bird was ringed in French France during it's birth year back in September of 2023 at a place called Moëze, which is half way down the west coast.
It has subsequently been sited at Seaforth Nature Reserve, Liverpool in June 2024 and further south (than the ringing site) at L'Aiguillon-la-Presqu'ile, France in July 2024.
No sightings thereafter for a full year - until some absolute legend picked it up on the Blyth last Tuesday...
