Snap a Sanderling this summer and win!

Win an original artwork prize for leg-tagged flagged Sanderling this summer!

Are you at the beach this summer with a camera? We are looking for images of Sanderling birds – particularly those with leg tags on them.

The observation of Sandlering is an important part of the Discovery Bay Sanderling Tracking Project which is trying to find out the location of the birds to allow researchers to attach small tracking devices to some birds to better understand their migratory habits.

You can learn more about the project HERE

As incentive to get you snapping photos of their tags, we are offering 3 monthly prizes prize of a Jimmi Buscombe print and a major prize of original painting of “Sanderling on Plantation Teak”.

You can see other examples of Jimmi’s artwork here: www.jimmibuscombe.com
