Icelandic Black-tailed Godwit


A Black-tailed Godwit I saw with Paul F on Saturday had some interesting bling. It was close enough to get some decent photo's so I decided to post some pics on twitter asking for information. Almost straight away Andy Field (@merseabirder on twitter) suggested I ask Jen Gill (@JenGill3 on twitter). I tweeted a message to Jen and received an almost immediate reply. She had ringed the Godwit as a chick in Northern Iceland! Jen then forwarded my email to the ringing scheme and this morning I received the following information about the Godwit.
