  • GPS tags fitted to track movements and habitat of Jack Snipe wading birds
  • One of 10 tagged birds at wetland sites in the Midlands has just been recaptured
  • Data will help landscape scale conservation and other species

After 10 birds were fitted with Global Positioning System (GPS) archival tags in south Staffordshire earlier this year, a tagged Jack Snipe has just been recaptured.

The tags Natural England have used are accurate to 10 metres to record the location of the bird at set times. While Jack Snipe have been previously tagged in the UK, the tags used were not so accurate.
