Recent ringing records

Hello

Ring FP30251 was affixed to the leg of an adult Woodpigeon which was caught in the Scaldwell Bay at Pitsford Reservoir on 6th May 2013. We have now received some belated information that this bird was shot near the village of Old 'sometime in 2016'.

On 12th February this year John Woollett caught an adult male Blackbird in his garden at Astcote near Towcester bearing ring number LH61808. This bird was first caught and ringed at Holme Bird Observatory on the Norfolk coast on 1st March 2016, 139 Km away and 703 days earlier. This information suggests this bird is a continental bird that visits the UK to winter...

Regards
