Godwits looking up

Two years ago I was sharing the tale of a tail, and I thought I would revisit today with some improved photographic squares as part of Flashback Friday and SquareUp.

These Godwits may have looked up to keep an eye on us, however things are certainly not looking up for this wonderful wader birds. Thanks to climate change and human actions their habitats are fast disappearing in Portugal and elsewhere in the world. Consequently so are the birds. There are some brilliant projects such as Project Godwit, trying to ensure they don’t disappear, but the prospects are not looking great for them. No wonder the birds themselves are also trying to improve their odds – just check out the post below on this day two years ago.
