    WELCOME, BABY SPOON-BILLED SANDPIPER

    This little guy is one of the first spoon-billed sandpipers to hatch in the U.K. The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust travelled to Russia in 2010 and collected spoon-billed sandpiper eggs from the wild. This emergency action was taken when it become apparent there could be as few as 200 of these unique birds left in the world.
