Ringing Recoveries

Starling ringed LBO 1st October 1994 was found long dead in a man-made structure in Trimley St. Mary 28th October 2024. Not a bird 30 years old but a ring on a skeleton.

Grey Wagtail ringed LBO 11th July 2024 was retrapped 227 km away in Parnassiaweg, Bloemendaal, Noord-Holland, The Netherlands on 21st September 2024. Only the fourth UK ringed Grey Wagtail to be found in The Netherlands, three of which were ringed at LBO.

Grey Wagtail ringed LBO 5th October 2024 had its metal ring read in the field 89 km away at Rainham Marshes, Greater London on 1st November 2024 showing what can be achieved with a decent camera & a bit of patience photographing the ring from different angles.

Blue Tit ringed Trimley 6th September 2024 took six weeks to wander around the dock to find its way here - could have walked round here in that time !
