Grey Wagtail ringed LBO 5th October 2024 had its metal ring read in the field 89 km away at Rainham Marshes, Greater London on 1st November 2024 showing what can be achieved with a decent camera & a bit of patience photographing the ring from different angles.

Blue Tit ringed Trimley 6th September 2024 took six weeks to wander around the dock to find its way here - could have walked round here in that time !
