Headstarted curlew Astra (9L) has now returned to the wash after her brief trip to the River Humber.
Impressively she has returned to the same area she favoured before she flew to France in 2022!

Astra (9L) has returned!
Astra hatched on the 22nd June 2022 and was released at 61 days old. On the 17th September she departed for Brittany, France and has been living around the wetlands there until this week! (1/3)
