Brilliant result but it should never have been proposed in the first place.

One of the Whimbrel at the Wheldrake roost this year was ringed in April 2006. Undertaking an annual migration of 16,000 km this bird has now potentially clocked up around 300,000 km - in parts fuelled by a handful of fields around Hagg Bridge/Storwood - amazing! Yorkshire Wildlife Trust

This data provides robust evidence on which to base our conservation approaches and interventions to help these incredible birds, as well as the many other species which use the reserve and surrounding land York Birding Natural England Y&NL

The cracking (it's a better descriptive than presumed!) Siberian Stonechat showing well this morning Flamborough Bird Observatory. Heartening that it's feeding up on land managed by the observatory working together with Garganey Trust.

We are really pleased to have this published in this month’s British Birds magazine. Many hours surveying over the years. A number of theories discussed but no firm conclusion of why. ⁦Barnsley Birders⁩ ⁦Donnybirding⁩ ⁦Jim Horsfall⁩ ⁦RSPB_OldMoor⁩

Seconded

We are having trouble with 2 youths with a gun and dog on our reserve at The Fleet at Broomhill Flash. They come on intermittently after rabbits and damage the electric fence we have put up to stop Fox predation on breeding waders as well as the disturbance. 1/2

Interesting coincidence with the 8 Brent Geese over Broomhill Flash and Wombwell Ings yesterday
