Black-tailed #godwit WARNSERPOLDER from Friesland is a celebrity (e.g. x.com/GlobalFlyway...). Antonio Alcocer photographed it at L'Albufera wetland Valencia, Spain. This first obervation of this season on 6 Feb tallies well with the dates in 2020-2024 (6, 15, 9, 7 & 12 Feb, resp.). #skries #grutto

Most Whimbrels fly straight from Iceland to West-Africa: wadertales.wordpress.com/2022/09/22/a...

Ethology: @Eva_MA_Kok , Jerry Hogan, and @GlobalFlyway ask the red knot, a shorebird that migrates thousands of kilometers between its wintering and breeding grounds, about its motivation to move from one place to another. https://t.co/pAKgvb9SyR

Yes! As expected, the @GlobalFlyway bar-tailed godwit who was at Tongzhu has moved on to her usual staging spot at Qingdao. Interesting how these Australian godwits (L. l. menzbieri) apparently use the W side of the Yellow Sea, with the NZ godwits (L. l. baueri) on the E side.

The 2 @GlobalFlyway bar-tailed godwits are back in Jiangsu for 9th time tagged at #Broome #WesternAustralia. Direct flights! 1, as ever, is at Yancheng #WorldHeritage Site. The other is @ Tongzhu Port which we worry may be subject to potentially damaging reclamation & dredging?

YES! After her Sulawesi stop, the Yancheng @GlobalFlyway bar-tailed godwit was yesterday, within 2 hrs of arrival, seen safely back at #RoebuckBay #Broome (where tagged in 2017.) Last week's Yancheng conference debated how to rid Yancheng's tidal flats of invasive alien Spartina.

Gosh! The Yancheng @GlobalFlyway barwit's actually stopped at DPRK-Russia border! A yr ago it was already at Yancheng after a stop nr Incheon, RoK & in 2017 went direct to Yancheng. The other bird, now flying over Amur, was in Qingdao in 2018 & had moved on to Lianyungang in 2017
