Earlier this month WWT’s Principal Research Officer, Lynda Donaldson, was a keynote speaker at #BOU2022 . If you missed her presentation this brilliant thread is all about projects which use wader headstarting as one of the tools to help species like the black-tailed godwit 👇

Next up is the black-tailed godwit. This work is part of @projectgodwit which aims to secure the future for the UK breeding population, which mostly breeds at the Ouse and Nene Washes in the East of England
