One of the Cetti's Warblers trapped and ringed at Dormans Pool on 26th June 2010 was re-trapped on 2nd October 2011 at Newton Pool Nature Reserve near Alnwick.

I did wonder if they had a 'wander lust' gene when they first turned up here. Some must have remained here though as they're still a regular sighting at Dormans Pool and I understand a juvenile has been trapped and ringed again this year proving they bred again.
