This is the first time in nearly 40 years that we have seen a sihek fly free in the wild: 🧵

For the first time since 1988 we have #sihek #GuamKingfisher in the wild! Successfully released the first six over the weekend. A huge effort from so many partners 🙏
Work now focusses on supporting a population to establish @thomasreporting @OfficialZSL
