When I photographed a pair a couple of years ago that were sporting radio tags , I assumed (and it may be the case) that they were two birds of twenty tagged that year in Virginia. At the beginning of June the first shorebirds that arrived at my favourite birding spot included a small group of Red Knot.

Just under a fortnight ago, I saw a report on the local bird alert of a sighting of a group of approximately 20 Nacunda Nighthawks at a wetland not more than 20 minutes from where I live. Even though I had seen these cryptic austral migrants before, there was no way I was going to pass up an opportunity that was this close to home.

The Dry Tortugas National Park is located some 70 miles off of Key West in a small group of keys that makes up the farthest points included in the state of Florida, so it was no surprise that we had a four hour boat ride ahead of us before landing in the park.

That’s why the current trend to radio-tag birds reveals so much more than ringing, though it is of course vastly more expensive. Rings are not the only way of marking birds, and with a number of species wing tags are more often used. When I photographed the Red Kite ( above ) near my home in Suffolk I hadn’t noticed its wing tags.
