| Colour-ringed Curlew - Titchwell 09th November 2025 |
This is one of my least impressive colour-ring recovery records, my scientific prowess and observation skills remain unmatched, this is just a slightly lazy Curlew...

Wild Curlew eggs have been collected from military and civil airfields where they would otherwise be destroyed and have been 'head started' at Wild Ken Hill. Not a place I've visited - but it is 11km / 7 miles to the south west of Titchwell RSPB reserve.
Titchwell is where I spotted this beaut - a Curlew bearing a yellow flag '3H' over orange on the left leg and a yellow colour-ring over the knee right.

In summary, this bird was released at Wild Ken Hill on 06th August 2025, moved to the Titchwell RSPB reserve area on 21st August, It has variously flaunted itself for Titchwell visitors ever since - with the latest keen-eyed observer - my bad self, sighting the bird on 09th November.

I don't know what the moral of this story is? I've learnt something. Who knows. What is even right or wrong at this point?
