Hot of the press and just received is news of a Redstart ringed here as a first summer male on 24th May 2010 trapped this spring at Revtangen, Klepp, Rogland, Norway 802km to the NNE of us on 8th May 2011. This is all the more remarkable in that we only ringed two Redstarts in the whole of last spring and the recovery rate on this species is very low. Presumably this is a Norwegian reared bird that made an error on migration last spring that has sorted itself out this year.
