Amongst the recent batch of recoveries received are a number of Lesser Redpolls. A couple were caught here having been ringed a few days previously elsewhere up the Suffolk coast. More noteworthy is one ringed here on 20th October 2011 re trapped 8 days later at Sandwich Bay Bird Obs in Kent 75km away - it might only be that far in a straight line but takes me twice as many miles to drive there. Another ringed here on 14th November 2010 was re trapped by Spurn Bird Observatory at Kilnsea in Yorkshire on 31st October 2011 whilst another ringed here on 31st October 2010 was re trapped in Belgium on 23rd October 2011.
