The beginning of her story...
Omaha was collected as an egg from the RSPB Nene Washes in April 2019.
Back to the wild...
Omaha was released with her three siblings - Juno, Utah and Sword - and 11 other headstarted birds at the RSPB Nene Washes on 21 June 2019.
And her story continues...
May 2020. Omaha is back in the Fens, at WWT Welney.
Apr 2021. Omaha has returned to WWT Welney.
How was she named?
Omaha was named by Kate Thorogood on Facebook in honour of the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings. Omaha or Omaha Beach was one of the five designated beaches that were used during the D-Day landings on 6 June 1944 during the Second World War.
