Nicky is WWT’s Conservation Breeding Assistant and is responsible for the day-to-day care of the spoon-billed sandpipers at Slimbridge. Her first job in aviculture was a temporary one, helping Nigel’s team rear common cranes for release into the wild in Somerset. The team discovered she had feathery fingers (the avicultural equivalent of green fingers) and now she’s a permanent member of the team.
Thanks to the @orientbirdclub (BirdingAISA - biannual bulletin on Asian birds) for publishing this positive news on rescuing and saving a single individual of a Critically Endangered species.
Let’s start the week with a positive news! This Critically Endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper was rescued from the mudflats of Quanzhou, China by a local villager during heavy rain last week, the bird was wet & unable to fly (1/8)

Incredible and moving footage of Spoonie's 05 and P7 in the Inner Gulf of #Thailand. An homage to this little bird flying towards extinction, and to our host country for its critical role in the race to save it and secure a future for Spoonies #SaveSpoonie https://youtu.be/U3-9xlJ8tfM
