Removing lead from the environment would save not only the lives of millions of waterbirds, but protect human health #Leadshot is highly toxic Use your country’s vote on the REACH Committee to ban the use of #leadammunition over wetlands urges CMS Ambassador @sachadench

We need hunters to step up & help solve this. Please. A million waterbirds die in Europe, every year, from eating used lead ammunition. Tragic, agonising, unnecessary… & totally solvable. Please read the brilliant, sensible Jacques Trouvillez on #shooting #LeadShot.
African-Eurasian Waterbird Agreement (AEWA)@unep_aewa

“Phasing out #LeadShot in #wetlands is one of the legally binding obligations for AEWA Parties. Despite progress made, the continued lead poisoning of huge numbers of #birds shows that legal obligations are yet to be met,” - Mr Trouvilliez, ExSec of AEWA bit.ly/3dMZf7Y

@IainPlumtree Not quite! The flyway from Russia is part of me, and we have more visits planned for ongoing work, but I’ve a different route planned...;-)

I was just telling the stories of migrating birds, from their point of view ... and it is equally heartbreaking and magnificent. @WWTworldwide did something incredible in backing this approach and the Project lives on in initiatives right across the flyway.

This week the first Bewick's swans have arrived back in the UK with one particular bird making a beeline past its GPS tagged friends - Leho motored past Daisy Clarke and Hope. Read Julia Newth's blog about the Bewick's migration so far > bit.ly/2yIXfeR

The Bewick's swans are steadily making their migration too although some have further to travel than others. The closest reports are from the Netherlands and France this week, but out GPS tagged birds Leho and Daisy Clarke are still in Estonia with Hope now in Latvia.

Exciting news!! Daisy Clarke, one of our special tagged Bewick's swans, is officially on the move through Russia! A frequent winter visitor at @WWTWelney, Daisy Clarke is the first of our tagged swans to begin the epic migration south so far this year.

In case you missed it: watch Sacha's interview from @BBCBreakfast this morning where she talks about the impact of farming on the UK's wintering Bewick's swan population and the lasting legacy of @WWTSwanFlight 🦢

Did you know that before @WWTSwanFlight, @sachadench was terrified of flying?! Hear her tell @BBCWomansHour how she conquered her fears to embark on her incredible 7000km journey, & all about some of the incredible swan encounters she had along the way 👉 bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b…

This week I’m to receive the Britannia trophy for my flight, but success came from not focusing on the finish line or a 1st. Success was surrounding myself with good people (@WWTworldwide is full of them), trying my hardest, & sharing great stories with people along the way.
