Blackbird ringed Landguard 30th October 2017 retrapped 77 km away at Little Abingdon, Cambridgeshire 15th November 2017. Lesser Redpoll ringed Landguard 22nd October 2017 retrapped 17 km away in Ipswich two days later.
We don't normally post local dead birds but of interest a Blackbird flat as a pancake on View Point Road this morning was ringed here 3rd April 2012 which will have been born in 2011 so was roughly 6.5 years old and will no doubt have held a territory along the Butts and attempted nesting for the last six years. If you ever see a dead bird flat on the entrance road please peel it off and report the ring details either direct to the BTO via their website or to ourselves as a high proportion of flat birds on View Point Road will be wearing rings and it provides useful information on survival rates and longevity.
