Then it’s a matter of doing a little research on the internet to find who rang the bird you saw, and then emailing the details of your sighting. I photographed the Black-tailed Godwit in my photograph ( above ) on 18 September 2020. In the summer of 2020 it was back at Brancaster Staithe again, with the first record on 23 July.

And summary and discussion of recent research on how birds have changed the frequency and pitch of their songs in response to human noise and the possible consequences of those changes (again, we know that we don’t know). I do wish there was more about research on female bird song. And, that’s it.

Like all talented travel writers, Dunn is adept at drawing us into his experiences. I would also love to have more documentation of the many books, articles, research points, and stories that Dunn relates, at the very least a list of sources. Is all that material on Selkirk needed?
