Phil Straw returns as Editor of Tattler

Over the past 25 years the Tattler has changed in focus from purely a ‘newsletter’ to ‘increase the level of communication between wader enthusiasts, researchers and conservationists’ to include many short research papers and articles from across the East Asian Australasian Flyway (EAAF). This has become an onerous task for the Editor of Tattler, which in turn has taken a lot of material that would have otherwise appeared in the AWSG Journal ‘Stilt’ which recently was reduced from a biannual publication to once a year.

At a recent meeting of the AWSG Committee in November 2019 a decision was made to revert the focus to a ‘newsletter’ format, which in conjunction with the AWSG website will handle the increase in news items from across the EAAF.

A Special Edition of Tattler ‘A Year in Review’ is now available online here and is being be posted to all members of the AWSG. We hope you enjoy reading!
