With our tagged birds having left the UK behind several weeks ago it would now seem an ideal time to take a quick look at the journeys they’ve made.

Having shown no previous sign of migratory behaviour, Nellie III has now made it to Scandinavia.

Chris Heward discusses his relief as Nellie III finally begins his/her journey across the North Sea.

The woodcock’s spring migrations are well and truly underway. It’s nearly three weeks since the first of our tagged woodcock departed and now all but one of the eight active tags are outside the UK.
