Song Thrush ringed Landguard 25th October 2021 was found dead 635 km away at Schwensbyer Weg, Sorup, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany on 18th April 2022. This bird will have been on autumn passage here, wintered we know not where, with it either succumbing on its spring migration or upon returning to its natal area. There are only 20 previous records of British ringed Song Thrush to Germany & this is a first for us.
