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. With its striking combination of colour rings I suspected that it would be easy to find out more about this particular bird, and I was right.

It’s a bang-up breeding year for super-endangered birds! The species, which migrates from the Russian Arctic to Southeast Asia, is down to about 200 breeding pairs in the wild, due to habitat loss and poaching. For the past several years, getting the birds to breed has been an exercise in futility. Both photos by the WWT).
