Yeah sure thing.


"they spotted a bar-tailed godwit with a small orange flag and aluminum band harmlessly attached to its legs. Further research revealed that"

When considered in context of the hundreds, perhaps thousands of leg flagged godwits that have been manacled, the statement "that a small flag and aluminium band harmlessly attached to its legs" is no more than an optimistic assumption when evaluating the return rate of the few survivors.
