Ringing Recoveries

Robin ringed Landguard 22nd October 2019 retrapped 37 km away at Abberton Reservoir, Essex 17th October 2020. This is probably a continental bird coming into the country for the winter via slightly different routes in consecutive autumns.

Lesser Redpoll ringed Sandwich Bay 12th October 2020 retrapped 75 km away at Landguard 22nd October 2020. This is notable as it is heading north but probably just prooves how they wander.

Shag ringed Isle of May 5th July 2019 found dead 536 km away at Landguard 28th June 2020. This bird was also noted several times at the River Alde & Slaughden in November 2019.

Lesser Black-backed Gull ringed as a pullus at Amrum-odde, Nordfriesche Inseln, Germany seen 599 km away at Landguard 27th September 2020. This bird was original reported as being ringed as a Herring Gull but due to confusion over transcribing the colour ring combination the confusion is now resolved.
