Black Tailed Godwit

 Photo recieved of the BTG I saw at the Gann last August, as a chick being colour flagged, at the nest site in Iceland in 2009. It`s favoured Wintering area being around  La Rochelle on the Bay of Biscay. If my maths are correct it has flown at least 7,500 miles to date, with another 1,500 looming on a return journey.Many Thanks to the ringer, Vigfus Eyjolesson for supplying the photo.
