In this expedition from 5 to 13 October 2023 we visited the most important areas for wintering
Black-tailed Godwits in southern Spain. Our aim was to resight individual colour marked birds,
describe the habitats used by godwits and to gain information on threats and opportunities by field
observations and meetings with local experts. In this report we present a daily overview of our
findings with photos, locations we visited, numbers present and the first conclusions and
recommendations. More reports from expeditions to Iberia and West Africa in previous years can be
