Did you know that WWT created the world’s first conservation breeding population of black- tailed godwits at WWT Slimbridge?
Since 2017, we’ve rescued and incubated 304 eggs and released 235 birds into the wild.
But to make sure breeding black-tailed godwits don’t disappear from UK wetlands forever, the work must continue...
Video description: Footage of Will Costa speaking and Black-Tailed Godwits feeding in shallow water, nesting in grassland, preening their feathers, and hatching from eggs is shown throughout. Within that footage views of their habitats from above, including wet grasslands, saltmarsh and peaty fenlands are intertwined.
