This is bar-tailed #godwit SEDTSYS.
We saw it at Striep, Terschelling, Dutch Wadden Sea on Friday 23 May, and a day later she was cruising the Gulf of Finland on her way to the Taimyr tundra! The exodus of barwits from #WaddenSea is almost complete. See: www.globalflywaynetwork.org/tracks/speci...

Our milestone #SIBES publication is out! We describe methods and share data of this huge sampling effort. We hope it will stimulate research, forge collaborations, and allow evidence-based management of the UNESCO #waddensea. Read the paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #macrozoobenthos

Rumex, tagged in 2022 at Schiermonnikoog (NL), decided to winter in the Tagus Estuary. As he spends most of his time at the intertidal around Sitio das Hortas, also my go-to birding spot, I've encountered him on multiple occasions in the past few weeks.
