Sanderling Ringing Recovery

Details have just been received of a Sanderling photographed here on the beach on 16th July this year. This bird was originally ringed by the Dutch on 16th July last year at Zackenberg, Greenland & was later reported at Vlieland, The Netherlands on 21st September 2013. The fact it was here a year after it was originally ringed in Greenland suggests that it failed in its breeding attempt in Greenland this year & was already on its way south.
