Thank you to Josh Forrester who has provided an update on a ring on a dead black-tailed godwit he discovered close to Water's Edge, Barton-on-Humber, on July 30 this year.

After he submitted the info, BTO says the bird, of unknown sex, had been ringed  at River Deben, near Ramsholt Lodge, Suffolk, at 9pm on August 11, 2021.

It had been aged at least one at the time, so it had lived to at least 13.

Says BTO: "It was found 4,371 days after it was ringed, 215 km from the ringing site, direction NW."
