Black-tailed Godwits, hand-reared at WWT Welney, Norfolk, UK, after their eggs were freed from muddy farmland, have flown thousands of miles home for the summer. Experts were doubtful the eggs, found encased in dirt, would hatch. The birds were released on the Fens before flying south for the winter. The rare waders, named Estragon and Dill, join 16 other Black-tailed Godwits which have returned to where they raised as part of Project Godwit - a partnership between WWT and the RSPB, now in its third year.
