Godwit Report of 10th September 2011:
I noticed from the website that Siobhan MacNamara had a ringed Black-tailed Godwit on the Bull island on the 10th September. The combination rang a bell with me so I checked my photographs. I was delighted that I did. I took a photograph of the bird just after it was ringed in Siglufjörður in northern Iceland on 11th July 2009!! See photograph on right>>>
Jim Wilson and I were in Iceland for 6 days taking
photographs for the Shorebirds of Ireland book and we were helping Pete
Potts and his crew ring some godwits while we were there.Mark

News on a ringed Bar-tailed Godwit: A colour ringed Bar-tailed Godwit, code - R6WYBB spotted on Bull Island (Wooden bridge side) on the 6th March 2011 is well travelled. After reporting the sighting I received an email from the study group informing me that this bird was caught on 13th September 2010 at Strieper polder in Terschelling, Netherlands. It has also been spotted in Booterstown on the 22nd Feb 2011. Before then it was in Newport, Wales since December.Rhona Byrne |
