Time is ticking! ⏰️
Registration for our next conference #IWSG2025 in Groningen, The Netherlands 🇳🇱 closes on 30th June ⬇️

What a great photo! 😁⬇️

Thanks Jonny. I've filtered the register and comes up project Ref.1034

For GWCT @gwct.org.uk project rings would need to be on opposite legs? According to register, all their projects with metal on right leg have either orange/red rings, or flags. Unless rings were put on wrong legs for Ref.2752

Our next conference #IWSG2025 in Groningen, Netherlands 🇳🇱 isn't just talks and workshops! There are some great excursions to choose from too. More details here ⬇️

Not an easy one it seems. Checked our Register and filtered for position of metal and colours and nearest match is project Ref:1034, but other projects similar if legs opposite way around. Silly question - blue is on the left leg?

Seen a colour-marked wader? Check out the Colour-mark Register on our website to find out where to report your sighting #waders #shorebirds #ornithology
