Hi,
I have been studying the migration passage of Bar-tailed Godwit along the south coast concerning the sub-species taymyrensis and with the first birds beginning to be reported I would love to hear from anyone who have any sightings of Bar-tails between April and the end of May. If you have any photos this would also be very helpful plus any details of ringed individuals. I am aware that there is an annual spring passage up the Severn so would be interested in any 2009 records (and if anyone has the time also pre-2009). I have produced a paper, jointly with Hampshire Bird Report editor Alan Cox, on "Barwit" migration and we are continuing to study this subject along with grounded individuals who stop off to feed up before continuing their journey north.
All records will be acknowledged.
Many thanks and good watching,
Jim
