Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Beth and Ian are getting married on 23rd March 2013. We would like to raise some money for the WWT's campaign to save the Spoon-billed Sandpiper, a bird that is close to both our hearts.

 

In the last decade alone, Spoon-billed Sandpipers have declined by a staggering 90%. The situation is so serious that WWT has taken the bold step of making two expeditions to Far East Russia to bring back eggs to a purpose-built aviary in Slimbridge. 18 Critically Endangered spoon-billed sandpipers were hatched in captivity ain 2012, a first for the UK and only the second flock ever to have been born in captivity.

Once the flock at Slimbridge is large enough, the WWT hope to have enough breeding pairs to return eggs to Russia, hatch them and release birds back into the wild.

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.  Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. 

Love Beth and Ian x
