Ringed Curlews
WWT wants help to track 50 young Curlews released at Slimbridge in July. They are fitted with a yellow ring at the top of the right leg and a white numbered ring at the top of left leg. Please pass on full sightings info with a photo if possible to - curlew@wwt.org.uk.

When a sighting is submitted they will send out a summary of the bird's life-history that will show where and when the bird has been resighted since release.

The organiser says: 'We send these out as soon as we can; however in busy periods there may be a bit of a delay. We really appreciate any sightings we get so we do try to keep any delays to a minimum.'
