I discovered that it had been ringed on 26 September 2016 at Iken, on the River Alde on the Suffolk coast, so almost exactly four years before my sighting. Black-tailed godwits winter in large numbers on the estuaries of both Norfolk and Suffolk, and we know that nearly all these birds breed in Iceland.

The 2016 tide chart is also useful if you want to see the dinosaur footprints at Gantheaume Point, because you need the tide to be below 2.16m for them to be visible and due care is required over slippery rocks. I will also give you the link here for 2017 in case you are reading this next year or want to plan a trip for next year!

Apo near Davao City, PEC is the site of a Philippine Eagle conservation breeding program. So, I highly recommend reading “In The Aerie Of The Philippine Eagle” , by Greg Breining an excellent article published in the September 2017 issue of Living Bird , the magazine of the Lab of Ornithology, before or after viewing the film.

They can be challenging to identify, especially if you haven’t seen one before, though with experience they are not really so difficult. On their breeding grounds in Spain, Lesser Kestrels are very much city birds, for 95% of the population nests in towns. Perhaps some females remain, too, but I didn’t see any.

Many sad and unfortunate things occurred in 2016, but the birding was good. I think this might be my best bird of 2016. Greater Adjutants are huge birds that were once widespread across much of Southeast Asia; today there are two small breeding populations in India and Cambodia. Bring on 2017! It was a good birding year.

Several years ago, I read about the enormous colonies of breeding birds in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and I did some research to satisfy my curiosity. ( Google Scholar is an excellent resource and free full-text PDFs can be located for many papers, particularly when research is taxpayer-funded. It is helpful to have a sample paper.
