A pleasant morning of drizzle produced an adult Pomarine Skua and an adult Med Gull. A good recovery from the BTO cam through though of a Wheatear ringed here on the 3rd of May this Year. The bird was a female presumably of the Greenland race (Wing = 103mm) and was found alive 5 days later in Zoutelande, in the Netherlands, trapped in some crop netting. This is a distance of 157km and is only the 3rd recovery of this species to the Netherlands. Hopefully one of the other 145 Wheatears ringed this spring will turn up somewhere just as interesting!
