Colour Ringed Black-tailed Godwit on the Humber Bank

 A rare dry day today and high tide (although a neap one) tempted me to a couple of hours at Novartis Ings and on the Humber Bank. 27 species were seen including a very loud cetti's warlbler and again a very large flock of golden plover; this time up by the dock wall. There were large numbers of waders about, mainly redshank, dunlin and black-tailed godwit. On examining the only (poor photograph) I took, I was surprised to see a colour ringed godwit in the top right of the image. Posting the photograph on X has provided the response that it is a bird first ringed on the Wash in 2010.
