Hi Everyone
As I am sure you are aware, there are some monster tides coming up from 17 to 22 September. I am hoping we may be able to use these tides to read Curlew rings, especially 2019 Slimbridge head-started rings, at sites where it is often hard to get close to the Curlews.

A message from Mike Smart - He's after some help looking for ringed Curlew over the high tides 17-22 September (contact CurlewCall)Hi Everyone
As I am sure you are aware, there are some monster tides coming up from 17 to 22 September. I am hoping we may be able to use these tides to read Curlew rings, especially 2019 Slimbridge head-started rings, at sites where it is often hard to get close to the Curlews.
