Just a heads up and quick reminder about colour ringed birds. Thanks to Ian F we've had some really interesting Curlew, Knot and Purple Sandpiper records recently. There have also been a few gulls with rings on that have been too distant to read clearly. If everyone could check, where possible, for waders, gulls and wildfowl and if you are lucky enough to see something then please note the combinations, colouring and or lettering. If possible get a photograph as the original ringers always like to has confirmation. Hopefully Ian F can post some links of web sites where you can send your sightings to.....
I must admit it's an area that I'm very interested in. Whilst it's great seeing the various species we get locally I also like to know a little more about where our birds are coming from and moving to.
Another different colour ringed Curlew was on Seaton Common yesterday, along with five others previously noted last week. I've sent off the details of the new bird. Over several years Robin Ward ran a Curlew ringing project. A large white ring is the marker to identify the project. A combination of colour rings are used identify the bird. Considering their longevity of around 30yrs we still get several of these each year in Spring and Autumn/Winter as they pass to and from the breeding grounds.
Several thousands of waders are colour ringed in Scandinavia each year. Locally we get lots either passing through with some staying for winter. Over the last few weeks as Toby says we've had several Knot and Purple Sandpiper with rings/flags from Spitsbergen. These records have helped show the passage/movement of these birds - both for the ringers and for local birders to gain a better understanding of where our birds are coming from.
The main place to report sightings is European Colour-ring Birding - better known as CR-Birding - http://www.cr-birding.org/ (http://www.cr-birding.org/)
They're 'migrating' to this new website at present where eventually all records will be held. Some schemes are still on the old web site - http://www.cr-birding.be/ (http://www.cr-birding.be/) - just scroll down the page to see each bird group and then click on the link to view each species. From the combination of rings you can identify the scheme and contact the ringer direct on the email addresses provided. Some schemes have automated web sites where entering the ring combination identifies the bird and gives the history. In many cases the ringers respond very quickly with details of the birds history or point you in the right direction if it wasn't one of their birds.
If the scheme can't be identified from the ring combination then the fall back method is to report the bird to the BTO as you would for any bird with a metal ring on it's leg where you've noted the details from it. http://blx1.bto.org/euring/lang/pages/rings.jsp?country=EN (http://blx1.bto.org/euring/lang/pages/rings.jsp?country=EN) . I find that system works well for reporting birds with metal rings but not so good for colour ringed birds.
Hi, Just attaching a link to an article about a Purple Sandpiper and Dunlin colour ringing project which is on the Birdguides website and may be of interest. http://www.birdguides.com/webzine/article.asp?a=3017 (http://www.birdguides.com/webzine/article.asp?a=3017)
Thanks,
Adam
Yes, it's K.M. Soot who has been ringing the Purple Sandpipers that we've been getting. If any are seen with the orange or green flags and an orange marker he is the guy to email. Apparently there were at least two more in Northumberland the last day or two.
A few results over the last week.

Curlew from Seaton Common on 28th/29th November 2011 -
1. "OY NY" was ringed on 7th September 1991 as a juvenile bird (BTO ring no. FC48911). The bird remained using Seal Sands & Seaton Common throughout the winter and when over-summering and moulting during 1992 as a first summer. Sightings would suggest it emigrated in it's second summer sometime after 22nd March 1993, returning by 5th July. Thereafter it was generally recorded on Seal Sands during the late summer/autumn (July - August) and then again late winter (January – March, once in April; 11th in 1995). Since our team was disbanded at the University in late 2001, the few observations made were by the two of us, largely of the bird foraging on Seaton Common in autumn and winter. You were last to report the bird, on Seaton Common on 22nd March 2008.
2. "RY GR" was ringed on 6th March 1992 as an adult (BTO ring no. FA25118) – born in a year previous to 1991. Sightings would suggest the bird largely uses Seal Sands during the late summer/autumn with all winter sightings from Seaton Common. This is the second sighting for 2011, the previous in October from Seaton Common.
3. "WR OY" was ringed on 21st July 1997 as an adult (BTO ring no. FC80366) – born in a year previous to 1997. This bird's pattern of occurrence and location is similar to that of the previous individual. You were also the last to report this bird, 16th March 2008 at Seaton Common.
4. "WR WR" was ringed on 21st July 1997 as an adult (BTO ring no. FC80379) – born in a year previous to 1997. The few sightings of this bird again reflects a pattern of occurrence similar to the previous two individuals though John Grieveson did record it on Seal Sands in January 2005. I last sighted the bird, this feeding on Seal Sands on 17th September 2008.
5. "GY WN" was ringed on 16th July 2001 as an adult (BTO ring no. FA86718) – born in a year previous to 2001. There has only been three previous re-sightings of this bird, twice on Seal Sands (Sept 2002, August 2008) and Seaton Common (November 2009).

An interesting bird was a Bar-tailed Godwit seen at Seaton Snook on 1st February 2011. Interesting due to it's age and that I just received the details this morning.
QuoteThe colour-ringed Bar-tailed Godwit is an interesting bird as it would appear to be an individual marked as juvenile on 23rd October 1985 (BTO ring DN63313). This would make the bird 26 years old; the UK longevity record is 33 years 11 month 13 days. 143 birds were marked and the colour-ring combination you've reported. There are only three previous re-sightings of this bird, 16th January 1992, 12th January 1995 and 21st December 1998, all at Seal Sands.
Just for information there's at least one colour ringed Shag in the harbour at Hartlepool. Seen from Pilot Pier this morning. There's a metal ring on it's right leg and a red colour ring with white letters on it's left leg. I couldn't get the full details this morning but worth bearing in mind. The ring is best seen when it's diving. The last two winters there's been two colour ringed Shags in the harbour/Jacksons Landing from East Scotland.
Purple Sandpipers CAT and EUH still present yesterday morning.

I've just received a positive response about a colour ringed Common Sandpiper I saw on Saltholme west pond on 7th May 2011. The delay was due to my reporting the ring on the left leg as being white whereas it's actually pale blue which can be seen when the brightness/contrast is reduced in the photos I took - just as well there was a photo to send to the ringer to confirm.
Quote
The bird was ringed as a female (presumed first year) on 6th May 2011, the day before you saw it, at Grainfoot Inlet, Ladybower Reservoir (N arm, E shore), Upper Derwent Valley, Derbyshire (SK 190 879) with ring NW28767. It weighed 56 g at the time and had a wing length of 114 mm. I attach a photo of the bird as it was being ringed.
I found it interesting about the distance it covered overnight and from where it travelled.
A great result and a big thanks to Andre Thiel who persevered with tracking down the bird/ringer.
The colour ringed Purple Sandpiper EJT from Spitzbergen was still present this morning on the rocks below Albion Terrace.

A few colour ringed gulls around the last few days.
Today at Seaton Reach Herring Gull x2 with orange darvics one reading 2227. Another with uncoded rings right leg white above dark green above lime green.
Earlier in the week another Herring Gull was on Seaton Common with a yellow darvic 2201.
Plus a Black-headed Gull - white ring with letters 502. Another was present yesterday white with VHA - both possibly from Yorkshire area but still awaiting a reply.
All submitted to the BTO/Euring.
A ringing result rather than a colour ring.
For several weeks a Common Gull with a Finnish metal ring has been in the car parks at Seaton Carew. Derek Clayton, Dave Harrison and myself spent quite a while trying to obtain the complete details. On 18/01/2012 it was in the car park behind the Almighty Cod in Seaton Carew when I eventually managed to get the full details CT158228.
I received a reply today by letter from Finland.

Just got details back from the colour ringed Cormorant in Hartlepool fish quay that was seen on Sunday morning.
Orange colour ring CPJ (metal ring G1481) was ringed as a chick at Abberton Reservoir, Essex on the 14th May 2011
The other orange colour ringed bird would also have been ringed at Abberton and the individual with the lime green ring would probably have been a Dutch bird.
Maybe worth other observers trying to read the details of these last two, if they are still there ?

Herring Gull sighted 08/02/2012 on Seaton Common with yellow darvic coded 1711.
QuoteHerring Gull with orange ring (now faded to yellow), number 1711 was ringed on the 16th March 2007 on Seamer Carr landfill, near Scarborough (TA038820) as a second winter bird with metal BTO ring number GN13872. I have received no other sightings of this bird since it was ringed.
Two other orange coded darvic Herring Gulls sighted over last week are likely to be from the same location.
Another colour ringed Mediterranean Gull was sighted by Dave Harrison at Newburn Bridge this morning. A red darvic bearing letters PEE7.
Possibly from Poland. I believe Dave Britton saw the same bird in Redcar in Nov/Dec 2007.

Further info received from Dave about this bird. He was informed that it was ringed at Rheinau-Freistett in the Upper Rhine Valley, Germany, as a chick on 15th May 1999. Though meanwhile it may have carried another colour ring that was replaced. That ring was sighted several times in 2004 at Marske on 31st July, 1st August and 9th Oct.
I've reported it to the BTO/Euring so they may get back to me at some point.

3. Herring Gull with orange ring 1711 (now faded to yellow) was ringed on the 16th March 2007 on Seamer Carr landfill as a second winter bird, with metal BTO ring number GN13872. I have received one other sighting of this bird since it was ringed(from yourself?) on the 8th February 2012 at Seaton Common.
The colour ringed 2nd winter Glaucous Gull which Colin Dodsworth saw at Seaton Carew on 15 Jan (which had been at Boldon Flats on 23 Dec 2011) has been seen again - at Cotham Landfill Site, Nottinghamshire, on 18 Feb. It was originally ringed on the Ugie Estuary, Peterhead, on 3 Aug 2011.

This curlew was on Seaton Common on Saturday - I notice the colours are different from that shown in the Hartlepool Mail. Has this one been seen around previously?

I first saw that one on 16/03/2008 and several times over the years. This winter I first saw it on 28/11/2011 and several times since, though it was also reported on Seaton Common in October 2011 . It was ringed on Teesmouth on 21/07/1997.
There's another one still present that's a year older than the one described in the papers, ringed 07/09/1991 on Teesmouth.
They often hang around until March and sometimes April before leaving to breed elsewhere before returning in July/August.
There's still 5-6 colour ringed Curlew on Seaton Common. I came across a new one a few days ago. I've not received a reply about that one yet.
Thanks for the response Ian - you are the proverbial mine of information!
It's just that I've checked for colour ringed Curlews for a good number of years now.
The oldest ringed one from 1991 is still around, present again this morning.
Left - Orange over yellow. Right - Black over yellow - ringed on 7th September 1991 as a juvenile bird (BTO ring no. FC48911). The bird remained using Seal Sands & Seaton Common throughout the winter and when over-summering and moulting during 1992 as a first summer. Sightings would suggest it emigrated in it's second summer sometime after 22nd March 1993, returning by 5th July. Thereafter it was generally recorded on Seal Sands during the late summer/autumn (July - August) and then again late winter (January – March, once in April; 11th in 1995). Since the team was disbanded at the University in late 2001, the few observations made were by the two of us, largely of the bird foraging on Seaton Common in autumn and winter. You were last to report the bird, on Seaton Common on 22nd March 2008.

QuoteMany thanks for the colour-ring sighting of "RN GW" which was ringed as an adult on 29th August 2000 at Seal Sands.
Last seen in December 2009 on Seaton Common, a site it has regularly frequented over high water in the past, where you recorded it in March 2008. In autumn, the bird has been recorded at low tide feeding on Bran Sands and Seal Sands. There has been no winter records of this bird away from Seaton Common to date.

RW OG was ringed (BTO ring FC48905) on 29th July 1991 at Seal Sands and aged as an 'adult' (first summer or older). Prior to this winter RW OG was last recorded on 19th November 2009 when I observed it feeding at Seaton Common. I've previously recorded this bird on only three occasions, twice on Bran Sands (14/12/00 & 12/09/07) and Seaton Common (13/12/00).
Saw a female Shelduck on the Tidal Pool sunday evening with yellow darvic and black KC. Details recieved this morning.
Hi Toby . Thanks again for letting me have details of this bird . Yellow kc was a new bird caught and ringed on the 29 Jan 2012 as a 5 f at seaton marshes Devon . This is the furthest north we have had one of our shelducks recorded s...o its a great record for the group . ( furthest south has been one to central France and Holland to the east ) since 2006 we have ringed 317 new shelduck on the axe estuary and have just recently started to colour ring them all with yellow darvics and black 2 letter codes . The strange bit is it was ringed at seaton marshes and got resighted at seaton carew 452 km NE maybe a home from home or can it read place names ! Neil

A single colour ringed Curlew on Seaton Common this morning.
QuoteRinged Seal Sands on 7th September 1991 as a juvenile bird (BTO ring no. FC48911).
The bird remained using Seal Sands & Seaton Common throughout the winter and when over-summering and moulting during 1992 as a first summer. Sightings would suggest it emigrated in it's second summer sometime after 22nd March 1993, returning by 5th July. Thereafter it was generally recorded on Seal Sands during the late summer/autumn (July - August) and then again late winter (January – March, once in April; 11th in 1995). Since our team was disbanded at the University in late 2001, the few observations made were by the two of us, largely of the bird foraging on Seaton Common in autumn and winter. You were last to report the bird, on Seaton Common on 22nd March 2008. Then again on 27/02/2012, 13/04/2012 and now 27/09/2012.
Two other colour ringed Curlew were present on 28/09/2012
RN GW - ringed 29/08/2000 on Seal Sands and a regular each winter.
RG GN - ringed 21/07/2012 on Seal Sands - one of 36 Curlew ringed that day.
OY NY was present as well.
Hi,
I photographed a colour-ringed curlew at Parton Rocks yesterday (6.10.12). The colours were:
Right leg: light blue or light green over black above the 'knee'
Left leg: Black over yellow above the 'knee', white below, with an additional metal ring around 'ankle'
Sorry I'm unable to process the photos at the moment, and the files are too large to post un-processed. Is this a regular?
Regards
Simon Elliott
You get quite a few Curlew on Parton Rocks and in the harbour. I was over there today and saw a few but no colour ringed ones. The large white ring below the knee on the left leg shows it was ringed on Seal Sands.
It's not a combination I've come across before so it's well worth reporting to the BTO or to Robin Ward - email details on the cr-birding web site.

Sanderling on Coatham beach today.
Have you reported this bird to the BTO?
Looks like there are 2-3 schemes it could come from with having the green flag. Maybe Netherlands or Norway. I've not seen any colour ringed ones yet this Autumn though there were three large metal ringed Sanderling at Newburn Bridge this afternoon - plus ringed Redshank x2, Knot x1, Ringed Plover x2. Plus a few Oystercatchers with rings - can't read them of course.
As an aside it may be of interest to others as well that a colour ringed Little Stint was seen on Tidal Pool in September by two club members. The combination shows it's from Norway, probably Spitsbergen. They couldn't read the letter code. Two others from Norway were also recorded on the east coast well south of us.
A colour ringed Curlew was on the Headland this afternoon on the rocks below Albion Terrace.
I believe it's one of 46 ringed in July 2012 on Seal Sands.
A couple of other new ones have turned up on Seaton Common over the last week as well. All locally ringed - details to follow.
A Norwegian metal ringed Black-headed Gull has been in the pump station car park at Seaton Carew the last few days. I think Dave Harrison may have some of the details. It was there again today but only partially readable --5512--
Sanderling Coatham.
Thanks Ian. Yes, now reported to BTO. I will post any information received.
Hi Ian,
The curlew is the same bird I saw at the Headland posted earlier in this thread. I've developed the photos now and reported to the BTO as suggested.
Cheers

On 16th December 2012 a colour ringed Herring Gull with an orange darvic on it's left leg with 1388 was seen on Seaton Common, Seaton Carew, Hartlepool by Dave Harrison.
It was ringed Isle of May, Fife, Scotland 6th July 2001.
QuoteHerring gull with orange colour ring 1388 was originally ringed on the 6th July 2001 on the Isle of May, Fife (NT6599) as a nestling in the colony there. It has metal BTO ring number GA24241. We then caught this individual on Ellington road landfill, near Ashington, Northumberland (NZ2689) on the 10th March 2005, and the colour ring was added. Since then I have received no sightings of this bird until now, so it is interesting that it is still alive and well.
Interestingly this is the first sighting from Ellington road landfill to Seaton Common (previous sightings have been at Seaton Sluice and Longscare Rocks). We have had several movements to and from the Isle of May from both Ellington Road and from Scarborough, where most of our birds have now been ringed.
A colour ringed Herring Gull was seen on Seaton Meadows landfill this morning by Dave Harrison.
Right leg - white over dark green over lime.
Left leg - metal ring above knee.
Same bird was present at Seaton Reach on 11/02/2012.
The combination fits with gulls ringed over 20 yrs ago at Seaton Carew however an additional colour ring on the left leg must have fallen off over the years so the bird can't be fully identified from the colour rings. The metal ring should have four large numbers repeated twice which can be read from a distance. If anyone see's the bird could they try to read the numbers. They couldn't be read when it was seen today and last Feb.
A colour ringed Great Black-backed Gull bearing a yellow darvic with H58 was found by Dave Harrison on 26/12/12 at Cowpen Bewley by the tip.
It was ringed as a nestling 28/06/10 at Badbea, Berriedale, Highland, Scotland.
This is the first recorded sighting of this bird and the first one recorded from this scheme.

A colour ringed Oystercatcher first seen at Saltburn in November last year was again at Saltburn on Saturday 16th February 2013.
It has a White colour ring which should read P46, however the outer coating of the ring is starting to break down and only P4 is legible.
I did manage to read the metal ring and this is FH08473 and was rung as a pullus on the library roof of Aberdeen University (294km away) on the 19th June 2009.
This is the first sighting of it anywhere since been rung.

Great find!
A colour ringed Curlew that I've not seen before was on Seaton Common this morning. OW WY.
It was ringed on Seal Sands in July 1997.
QuoteOW WY was ringed at Seal Sands on 21st July 1997 and aged as at least one year. It was last reported on 24th August 2006 at Seal Sands. Previous sightings to that show it was/is a regular wintering bird that can return as early as early July in some years, departing after mid February. All sightings show it to be a bird that often foraged on Seal Sands and Seaton Common.
A colour ringed Purple Sandpiper was on the beach on the Headland this morning in company with three other Purple Sandpipers. It has a green flag with EUH. It's turned up each winter for the each year since it was ringed 02/09/2011 at Svalbard / Spitzbergen.
It was also seen here by John Bridges on 17/02/2013.
Video clip - http://youtu.be/MrUKy9UlcHE (http://youtu.be/MrUKy9UlcHE)
This colour ringed curlew was on Hartlepool Headland. It had a yellow ring above a blue one on its left leg. What does this mean?
The ring on it's left tarsus or 'ankle' looks to be white rather than blue. It's probably due to being in shadow that it looks a little blue. A large white ring on the left leg tarsus is the indicator ring for Curlew ringed on Seal Sands over the last 20-30 years.
Two rings are placed on each tibia. I can only see one yellow ring so it may have lost one or more. It maybe worth reporting to the BTO still though I suspect they won't be able to trace the year it was ringed. However yellow rings have a tendency to lose colour over the years. This being such a vibrant colour still I wouldn't be surprised if was ringed last year or at elast the last 2-3 years.
Thanks Ian
Luke
No problem. I can't quite decide whether there's a back ring above the yellow one or whether it's just the leg in shadow.
If it is black over yellow then the right leg may have green over black as I saw that bird on the Headland on 10/12/2012. It was ringed on Seal Sands on 21/07/2012.
Quite a few Curlew moved away from the coast after they arrived and are now turning up back there again before they head back to their breeding areas. It's Happening at Seaton Common as well.
It does looks like it has a black ring above the yellow one to me.
Thanks again Ian,
Luke
Looks like the same bird was present this morning. Definitely NY GN back again.

Hi, the photograph of a Robin attached was recently taken in Middlesbrough, near James Cook Hospital. Unfortunately I haven't been able to confirm if the Robin's right leg has a plastic or metal ring on it. I was wondering if anyone was aware of a colour ringing scheme currently ongoing in the area?
Cheers,
Adam

They do look like colour rings. Was it a colour ring on the left leg as well or is it just the light catching the metal ring?
I've not seen or heard of any local schemes though there are a couple listed on cr-birding - http://www.cr-birding.be/cr-EuropeanRobin.htm - though not an exact match.
A colour ringed Curlew was back on Seaton Common last night.
It was ringed on Seal Sands in July 2012.
I first saw it on the Common in Sept 2012 and throughout the winter. I last saw it in March 2013 before it disappeared for the summer.
A poor year for Avocet breeding with just three chicks ringed in June this year. I've only seen one other un-ringed chick locally. Another four un-ringed fledged chicks with two adults recently appeared but it's likely they bred elsewhere and have just flown in on passage.
Group photo taken in July.
A colour ringed Icelandic Black-tailed Godwit has been present on Tidal Pool the last two days. Part of a flock of around 42 birds present over high tide.
Left tibia - lime above yellow
Right tibia - yellow above dark green flag
I sent off the report last night and received a response first thing this morning!
It was ringed on the Tagus Estuary, Portugal as an adult female in February 2008.
Video - http://t.co/RWV8nkF6rf
QuoteThank you so much for reporting this colour-ringed godwit and for the very nice photo and video.
It is indeed one of the godwits we've colour-ringed in Portugal and I believe the ring on top of the left tibia is Lime Green.

Colour ringed Curlew on Seaton Common this evening.
A regular each winter - Left tibia - OY tarus - W Right tibia - NY
Ringed on Seal Sands on 7th September 1991.
A ringed rather than colour ringed bird.
On 5th September 2013 Tim Robinson found the headless corpse of a Danish ringed Cormorant on the beach at Seaton Snook.
It was ringed as a pullus on 1st June 2013 at Maturtholm, Denmark.
It was found dead three months later though it could have died much earlier and just been washed up now.
The black-yellow, orange-yellow ringed curlew (mentioned above by Ian) was on Seaton Common again today. Apologies for the sub-standard photo.
Found by Dave Harrison today perched on a lampost on Easington Road, Hartlepool.
Interestingly Dave found the same bird on 7th December 2012 at Jacksons Landing, Hartlepool.
It was ringed in Poland on 20/05/2011.
Polish ringing group has been informed and the BTO.

Yep! Looks like the same one. I first saw it back on 01/09/2013 and regularly on and off since then.
On 13th November 2013 a colour ringed Herring Gull was on Seaton Common - ornage darvic black letters - 1516
Dave Harrison saw the same bird 30/08/2013 at Seaton Reach.
QuoteHerring Gull with orange ring 1516 was ringed on the 20th April 2004 on Ellington Road landfill site, Ashington, Northumberland (NZ2689) as a second winter/summer with metal BTO ring number GN77166. I have two other sightings of this bird since it was ringed-
23rd January 2012 on Boston landfill, Lincolnshire
6th December 2012 on Lincoln tip, Lincolnshire
Found by Dave Harrison at Seaton Carew on 15/11/2013 ring number EX15763
It was ringed on 12/06/2010 at RSPB Saltholme as a pulli by Tess Ringing Group.
picture of ringed curlew on Seaton Common taken 15/11/13 ( only just noted rings ) any details anybody
It as ringed on Seal Sands in July 2012. All 2012 birds have 'GN' on the right leg.
A Black-tailed Godwit seen at RSPB Saltholme on 30/08/2013 was ringed as a chick on 17.07.13 at Rauda, just east of Godafoss, N Iceland 65 41.588'N 17 30.486'W.
Just received a reply today. I've not received a replay yet about another seen the same day but I think it's likely to have come from the same area.
Results received today for another colour ringed Black-tailed Godwit seen at RSPB Saltholme on 16th July 2013 -

Colour ringed Black-headed Gull - red - 3.7 - was back at Seaton Carew today in the car park behind The Almighty Cod. Found and photos by Dave Harrison.
Ringed - Ringed Amsterdam 01/12/2009
It's been a regular here the last few winters.
Curlews Seaton Common. Ten colour ringed birds seen this morning. The oldest being ringed in 1991.
OY NY ringed on 7th September 1991 as a juvenile bird (BTO ring no. FC48911).
The bird remained using Seal Sands & Seaton Common throughout the winter and when over-summering and moulting during 1992 as a first summer.
Sightings would suggest it emigrated in it's second summer sometime after 22nd March 1993, returning by 5th July. Thereafter it was generally recorded on Seal Sands during the late summer/autumn (July - August) and then again late winter (January – March, once in April; 11th in 1995).
I saw the bird again on Seaton Common on 22nd March 2008 and on 27/02/2012 then each autumn and winter since.
Yesterday Dave Harrison came across a colour ringed Cormorant at Ward Jackson Park and took a photo. Same bird as he found there last December.
QuoteColour ringed Cormorant at Ward Jackson Park on 31st December 2012 and still present on 1st January 2013. Orange Darvic with black letters S|H. Seen by Dave Harrison.
S|H (metal ring 5238308) was ringed as a chick at Abberton reservoir on the 30th May 2005
Hi this would also appear to be a 'Continental' Cormorant of the form 'sinensis'.
An under-recorded form in Cleveland which doesn't make it into the report every year though doubtless occurs in numbers. Formerly a Continental race of our familiar Cormorant it now breeds regularly in Britain (including Abberton Reservoir) where it forms mixed colonies with nominate 'carbo'.
See: http://www.britishbirds.co.uk/search?model=pdf&id=9474
Also see the attached image stolen off the net for the clinching ID feature.
One to look out for....

Information supplied by Donna Staples, Secretary for Mid Lincs Ringing Group. Many thanks For Ian F letting me know to use the Euring website.
Possibly the same Little Egret as above and by Ian Foster via Twitter.
It was seen today close to the Wildlife Watchpoint.
Edit: Looking at some other Photos it looks like it might be Left - Red F F and Right - Yellow 9 9 making it different from the above and one seen on twitter.

Black-headed Gull with white darvic J9PC still at Newburn Bridge this morning. It seems to favour this location as there have been several sightings of it here.
QuoteOn 1st January 2014 Dave also found a Black-headed Gull with a darvic with J9PC at Newburn Bridge - this bird was ringed 17/04/2013 as a 3cy+ at Østensjøvannet, Oslo, Akershus & Oslo, Norway. No other reports since it was ringed.

OY NY was ringed on 7th September 1991 as a juvenile bird (BTO ring no. FC48911).

The bird remained using Seal Sands & Seaton Common throughout the winter and when over-summering and moulting during 1992 as a first summer. Sightings would suggest it emigrated in it?s second summer sometime after 22nd March 1993, returning by 5th July. Thereafter it was generally recorded on Seal Sands during the late summer/autumn (July - August) and then again late winter (January ? March, once in April; 11th in 1995). The few observations made were by the two of us, largely of the bird foraging on Seaton Common in autumn and winter. Since 2008 it's over wintered on Seaton Common most years.
RN GW which was ringed as an adult on 29th August 2000 at Seal Sands. The last few years it's over wintered on Seal Sands and Bran Sands though reports are patchy.

QuoteIt?s a bird which was colour-ringed ringed at Harewood Whin landfill site, 3km east of York, as part of a new project. The bird was caught using a Cannon Net and is one of around 500 birds which have been caught in four catches so far this year
Harewood Whin is one of the decreasing number of Landfill sites in the UK where it is possible to operate for the catching and ringing of gulls. The gulls feed on the Landfill site during the day and roost on the floods in Lower Derwent Valley National Nature Reserve or on the Humber Estuary.
The bird was rung on 20th March 2015 and has not been seen elsewhere since it was rung.

Colour ringed Twite at Seaton Snook yesterday. Found by Chris Brown on 24/11/2015.
Ringed 22/10/2014 in Rishworth, South Yorkshire
QuoteIt was ringed 22/10/2014 in Rishworth, South Yorkshire and over wintered that year in the Pennines. Interestingly 3 of the birds that it over wintered with arrived back at the same site this year having not been seen all summer.
Last winter the feeding station was covered with deep snow for a few days at this time all of our over wintering Twite disappeared. This bird however was quickly reported by patch watchers at Orgreave, Sheffield (just below the snow line!). When the snow melted a few days later it arrived back at the feeding site and remained in the area until around April. It is unclear where it spent the rest of its summer.
A second ringed bird was present but only with a metal ring which couldn't be read.

Details of two colour ringed curlew I've observed around the Tees Estuary over the last couple of months.
Black/Orange Black/Orange: Spotted at South Gare on 16.11.2015 was ringed at Seal Sands as an adult on 18.04.2015.
Red/White Black/White: Spotted at RSPB Saltholme on 08.12.2015 is one of three curlew ringed with this combination. The bird was ringed in either July 1991, February 1992 or August 1994.
Cheers,

Colour ringed Shag blue FXJ at Skinningrove on the 2nd of January 2016 had been ringed as a chick on the Isle of May on the 18th June 2015.
This is the first sighting of it since it fledged.
Unfortunately this bird was then found dead at Scarborough, North Yorkshire on the 7th January 2016

QuoteColour ringed Twite at Seaton Snook yesterday. Found by Chris Brown on 24/11/2015.
Ringed 22/10/2014 in Rishworth, South Yorkshire
Quote
It was ringed 22/10/2014 in Rishworth, South Yorkshire and over wintered that year in the Pennines. Interestingly 3 of the birds that it over wintered with arrived back at the same site this year having not been seen all summer.
Last winter the feeding station was covered with deep snow for a few days at this time all of our over wintering Twite disappeared. This bird however was quickly reported by patch watchers at Orgreave, Sheffield (just below the snow line!). When the snow melted a few days later it arrived back at the feeding site and remained in the area until around April. It is unclear where it spent the rest of its summer.
A second ringed bird was present but only with a metal ring which couldn't be read.

Curlew RW NW present at Paddy's Pool, RSPB Saltholme on 06/04/2016 & 08/04/2016 and maybe still present.
Quote
The combination RW NW was unfortunately used on three birds by error and not just the one individual was the intention. Those three birds were ringed at Seal Sands on 29th July 1991, 5th February 1992 and 18th August 1994. All were adults (at least one year old). This means the individual you recorded was at least 23 years old and possibly 27 years or older. This exceeds are our longevity record for a colour-ringed bird at Teesmouth which was 22 years and 5 months old as a minimum. The national record is 32 years and 7 months.
RW NW was last seen at Saltholme in December 2015. However this was the first sighting since July 1999 prior to which I regularly recoded the bird at roost on Seal Sands or using coastal fields. This drop off in the recording of RW NW is most likely reflects marked reduction in observation effort with the disbandment of our research team at Durham University in 2001. Observations would suggested that RW NW is primarily a coastal field feeder in and around Teesmouth during the non-breeding season.
All sightings (with dates and locations) of new and previously recorded colour-ringed individuals are very much wanted and appreciated so as to maintain the life histories of these birds which are submitted to the BTO for entry into the National Ringing Scheme Database for research conservation. Back dated colour-ring sighting data is also much appreciated.
Curlew on Seaton Common this morning. GL GN
QuoteGL GN was ringed, metal ring only, on Seal Sands as a one year old bird on 22nd July 2006.
It was re-captured on 21/07/2012 at Seal Sands and the colour-rings added.
Your sighting this morning is the first since the recapture suggesting it may be a spring and autumn passage bird to the Tees.
Old bird OY NY was still on Seaton Common this morning.
Ringed - Seaton Common 07/09/1991
QuoteOY NY ringed on 7th September 1991 as a juvenile bird (BTO ring no. FC48911). The bird remained using Seal Sands & Seaton Common throughout the winter and when over-summering and moulting during 1992 as a first summer. Sightings would suggest it emigrated in it?s second summer sometime after 22nd March 1993, returning by 5th July. Thereafter it was generally recorded on Seal Sands during the late summer/autumn (July - August) and then again late winter (January ? April)
I reported a Sandwich Tern on Parton Rocks on 6/9/2014 (yeah I know) and just heard back now - been some issues with inboxes etc but they replying to all mails.
Lime green ring - L-NAP lettering - was ringed as a juvenile on the Slijkplaat in the Netherlands in June 2014.
No other sightings.
They will have a new GUI up and running soon. Will stick a link in as and when he advises.
Mute Swan seen from the Wildlife Watchpoint at Saltholme on 22nd April 2016, with Red CXL leg ring. Reply from Andy Rickeard at North East Swan Study,
"It's great to know that this bird is still alive and well after nearly 20 years.
CXL is very much a Teesside bird having been ringed at Haverton Hole as 1 of 3 cygnets on 24/08/1996. I have several records of CXL on the River Tees at Stockton, but my last record before yours was also at Saltholme on 01/12/2011."
Black-tailed Godwit colour ringed YN OB was at Greatham Creek on 13/03/2016.
It was also present at Phil Stead Hide on 23/08/2015 - so it stopped off here heading south and then as it was returning north.

Ringed as pulli - 14/06/2015 Coquet Island, Northhumberland
QuoteMany thanks for the sighting 2X4H is one of 4 pulli that were ringed at Coquest Island in Northhumberland last June by Chris Redfern. We know that 3 of the birds are still definitley alive from sightings.
I attach its life history which is short but we will gain more information over time. I expect that this bird may be a bit of a wanderer as it wont be breeding in its first year. Meds tend to be quite site faithful so hopefully 2X4H will return to you in future years.

This evening I came across a colour ringed Little Egret on Tidal Pool. Luckily it came closer when it moved to Saline Lagoon where it joined two other Little Egrets, one a juvenile.
Left tibia - red with white letter F
Right tibia - yellow with black letter T
Previous years we've had similar RY cr birds which have been from North Cotes in Lincolnshire.
FT (above) was on Back Saltholme this morning.
Another colour ringed Little Egret was at Phil Stead Hide.
Red - F

Likely another North Cotes bird.

Sometimes there's only the odd one or two in view from the road, other times up to a dozen. They feed around the golf course as well.
I've seen two different birds on Cowpen Marsh. Usually a few turn up on Seal Sands and at RSPB Saltholme but I've not seen any colour ringed birds amongst the hundreds of Curlew there.

There were several along Zinc Works Road this morning. I saw three cr birds but could only get details of one due to the long grass.
I saw the one with the slipped ring again today as well. Much better view than last time. It looks like the white is loose and has dropped down over the red ring which makes it WR OY. I saw it on seaton Common on 23/12/2016 but prior to that not since 2013.
It was ringed on Seal Sands in July 1997.
RN GW was ringed Seal Sands in August 2000 and has been present throughout most winters.

Colour ringed Gull (distant photo) at Redcar beach 1.00 pm today (16/5/17). Can anyone make anything of it?
Can't read the exact numbers on that but it's Y:### any 3 numbers and was most likely rung at Rufforth Tip, York. Quite a few of them end up on the rocks at Redcar.
http://www.cr-birding.org/node/3611
Ok Thanks for that. I had hoped it would be more exotic than one caught in a rubbish tip.
Another go at the ringed gull on Redcar/Marske beach. It looks like Y:964.
Yes looks like Y:964. I had this gull on May 12th and received this info back the other day

Hi another ringed Avocet at Saltholme on Saturday 20th May.
YB LG has been around since late April, more usually at Tidal Pool though lately at Saltholme. Ringed locally 17/05/2010 so it's one of the oldest cr birds.
WB NR was also at Saltholme hide yesterday. Ringed locally 2015
Jacksons Landing last night - herring gull Y792
It?s a bird which was colour-ringed ringed at Harewood Whin landfill site, to the west of York, (53.960 -1.177). The bird was caught using a Cannon Net and is one of around 1750 Gulls which have been caught and colour ringed to date.
Harewood Whin is one of the decreasing number of Landfill sites in the UK where it is possible to operate for the catching and ringing of gulls. Whilst with us the gulls feed on the Landfill site during the day and roost on the floods in Lower Derwent Valley National Nature Reserve or on the Humber Estuary.
The bird was rung on 4th November 2016 and yours is the first sighting since it was rung
Hi Ian I had a colour ringed curlew on North Gare road this afternoon.
It was orange over yellow left tibia and white over metal left tarsis
black over yellow right tibia
A good find Brian. I've not seen any colour ringed ones yet. It must be one of the first ones back.
That's one is the oldest birds we get back each year.
OY NY was ringed locally on 7th September 1991 as a juvenile bird (BTO ring no. FC48911). The bird remained using Seal Sands & Seaton Common throughout the winter and when over-summering and moulting during 1992 as a first summer. It's returned almost every year since.

I think I have also seen this Sandwich Tern but this time at Marske beach. It was together with around 20 Terns which included the one identified as ETL in the Common Birds section. The current one also has a yellow dye on the neck. Unfortunately the ring code is not clear.

Rob. I believe around a dozen birds were dyed/colour ringed in this fashion over a couple of days. Hard to say for sure but this looks like a different bird from the one I saw.
Greylag Goose at Saltholme hide with a neck collar which was red with three letters PYV. Sighted 25th September.
Was it definitely red or could it have been orange?
What colour were the letters?
Any leg rings seen as well if the feet could be seen?
An orange neckband with three letters would fit a scheme from Scotland for Icelandic birds.

Spotted a couple of darvic ringed canada geese from Paddy's Pool Bridge during today's WeBS Count. Unable to read the codes given distance and strong breeze however likely to have originated from the following scheme in Cumbria : http://www.cr-birding.org/node/2247 (http://www.cr-birding.org/node/2247)
Interestingly I've come across a bird from this scheme in the past whilst working at RSPB Ynys-hir in Mid Wales, the goose observed there was ringed at Windermere: https://www.rspb.org.uk/community/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-01-22-87/IMAG0616.jpg (https://www.rspb.org.uk/community/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-01-22-87/IMAG0616.jpg)

It could be a recently rung bird. I don't have the combinations from 2016/17. The rings do look fresh rather than faded.

A metal ringed bird rather than darvic but worth mentioning as it may be the first France ringed Barnacle Goose to turn up in the UK.
Two have remained on the reserve the last few weeks. One at Paddy's Pool on the wet grassland and this one which was at Dormans Pool, then moved to the field beside Sabic opposite the reserve entrance. Today it was on the field beside the path to Saltholme Hide. As I walked down the path it came closer to the fence to a muddy pool where it had a drink. The water washed the mud from it's feet revealing a metal ring.
Photos showed the ring number as OIS MUSEUM PARIS CF- 29449
The details have been reported via EURING. I'll update the entry if/when I receive a reply.
*** Confirmed today. Bird was ringed Brittany, France winter 2016-17. Last reported 28/01/2017 Hillion, St. Brieux Bay, Brittany when photos were taken following it's release after ringing. It's the only Barnacle Goose ringed in France in recent years!
Marsh harrier XI was seen hunting around the tanks at Saltholme on several occasions today. I personally saw it from the Phil Stead hide (when the attached photo was taken), from the WWP, and again when i was near the Jubilee Mound.
Colour-ringed little egret at the Phil Stead Hide today, as attached (taken in rahter murky light). Is this one of the locally-ringed birds?

Sandwich Tern on Marske Beach on 8/8/18.
White-UBK was a chick ringed (DT21232) on Coquet Island on 5 July 2015. It was seen (the first sighting) on 29 August 2015 at Slufter-zuid (53.136N, 4.802E), Netherlands. It was then spotted on 6 September 2015 at Saint Pair sur Mer (48° 48' 14.94" N / 1° 34' 13.00" W), Manche, Normandy, France. The last sighting was at Spurn on 16 June this year. So it seems to be hanging around up here!
Sanderling Ref: W6YGYY on Redcar Beach. Colour ringed but lacking the Rt.Tarsus yellow ring. It was previously located by me at Redcar 3 years ago at approximately the same time (3 days different). It seems to winter in Mauritania,west of the Sahara Desert.

Two more Sandwich Terns from Seaton Snook this morning. Both ringed Coquet Island.
QuoteWhite-UJP was ringed (DT36076) as a chick on Coquet Island on 17 July 2016; no previous sightings other than on Coquet, but it has been on Coquet island this year between 4-22 August- last seen on 22 August and as numbers now seem to be dwindling substantially, I guess it is on its way south. The big question now is whether it will take a coastal route, or travel overland from Teesside to the Mersey.
White-UHA was also ringed (DT21284) on Coquet Island, on 2 August 2015; also no previous sightings away from Coquet, but it has been on or near Coquet all summer, from 31 May until last seen on 17 August 2018. Quote
Present yesterday with three other colour ringed birds.
QuoteSandwich tern B-KD3.
This individual was marked as a chick on 18/6/2014 at Blakeney Point in Norfolk.
This individual has also been report on:

25/07/18 at Port Seton, Leith, Scotland (NT4174)

Seen by Paddy's Pool at RSPB Saltholme with three others on 11th November 2018.
Apparently it was seen at Saltholme by another birder on 2nd November.
Ringed Spitsbergen, Norway 12/08/1998 - making it 20 yrs old.
Longevity record is 26 yrs 11 months 11 days. Typical lifespan is 14 yrs.
QuoteYellow ZB - first ringed by the Dutch as a male gosling at Ny Aalesund, Spitsbergen, Svalbad, Norway on 12/8/98 with a metal ring only.
Recaptured and colour ringed in 2015 at Nordenskioldkysten, Spitsbergen when it was recorded as a female by the Dutch ringer (sexing is far more difficult at gosling stage).
It has not been recorded on the Solway wintering grounds since (due to it being metal ring only bird up until 2015 when the yellow ZB was added). Even so it has evaded detection since 2015 so it is good to hear that this 20 year old bird is still going strong...
Seen yesterday at Newburn Bridge by Dave Harrison.

At least two with yellow darvics present this morning.
Two together initially on end of causeway out from 'triangle' with yellow rings but too distant to read even with scope.
An hour later they'd moved. However there was a flock of around 40 Barnacles in front of Petroplus. As they flew around and landed I took photos and caught one with a readable yellow darvic VT.
Speedy response to my enquiry -
QuoteVT was ringed 25/07/2015 in Nordenskioldkysten, Spitsbergen, Svalbard, Norway as an unsexed gosling.

Five turned up this afternoon on Port Clarence Flood.
One bird is colour ringed.
Birds were distant and visibility poor in hazy sunshine.
Combination appears to be -
Left tibia - N, Nf, Y. (black, black flag,yellow)
Right tibia - a, R, P. (metal, red, pale blue)
The black flag alone shows it to be from either Belgium or the Netherlands.

Ringed 26th May 2017 Brechin, Angus, Scotland
QuoteRinged as a breeding adult female 26th May 2017 Brechin, Angus, Scotland. Bred 2018 and 2019. Always same site. Observed many times – usually until mid June. This year lingered longer (nesting attempts were all quite late there this year). Yours is the first sighting away from breeding place. She was still on site last week. Male still present. This year she had 4 pulli. (3+ of which recently fledged).
QuoteLITTLE RINGED PLOVER
Real time colour ring birding, Chris McGuigan/Nicholas Forrest
Over the past four years, several adult Little Ringed Plovers have been colour-ringed in east Scotland (only a single metal ring is used for pulli). This has allowed some close monitoring of the local breeding population as well as giving rise to numerous re-sightings of birds en-route to or from winter quarters to the south (most in England but two recoveries in Spain).
At 10.30 am on 22nd July 2019 Nicholas Ian Forrest photographed a colour-ringed Little Ringed Plover at RSPB Saltholme, at Billingham, Cleveland in NE England. (one of 35 or so seen there around that time). He emailed at 11am and I was able to quickly respond with the history of the bird. It had been ringed in Angus as a breeding adult female on 26th May 2017 and has returned to breed successfully at the same site each year since. We were also able to correspond in real time with the local keeper who keeps a close eye on the breeding site and he confirmed that the bird's male partner and their two juveniles were still there.
This confirms what we had suspected in previous years: the female often leaves a week or so before the male and the rest of the family catch up later. We were able to give Nicholas this info while he had the bird in front of him.
The colour-ringed Little Ringed Plover at RSPB Saltholme, Cleveland being photographed and watched by Nicholas Forrest as Chris McGuigan emailed him the ringing information then also confirmed its' mate was still at the breeding site with their 2 kiddies!
Two colour ringed birds at Saltholme hide this morning. Both new to me.

QuoteYour cormorant was ringed as chick on Puffin Island on 22/6/19. It was also seen at Hartlepool on 24/8/19.
Your repeat sighting is very useful to us, since the reason for colour ringing these Cormorants is to learn how site faithful they are in wintering areas, and how long they stay at a site.
Sanderling at Redcar scars. One of the regulars ringed at Orkney but good to see it is still coming back and has done so for 2 years.
A neck banded Greylag Goose - orange SBS was on Cowpen Tips Pools on 8th December.
Ringed 25/06/2016 Ambleside, Windermere, Cumbria
Several sightings from RSPB Saltholme on 1/12/2019 at Haverton , Wildlife Watchpoint and Dormans Pool.
QuoteFK was ringed and tagged near Cantley, on the edge of the Norfolk
Broads, on 16.06.2019. He was a male bird in a brood of four males, and
this constitutes the first sighting of any of the brood since that date,
so good to know that at least one has survived so far.

This is actually the first Oystercatcher ringed by the project (which has been on the go since 2013) that has been re-sighted in England, so this is a gem of a re-sighting!

JG was onthe beach tonight.
Originally ringed 14/06/2009 at Crimdon. Re-trapped there in 2017 when the colour ring was added.
Present this morning.
DI - ringed Crimdon 2017
CB & BZ ringed Crimdon in 2016
Around 30 roosting on the beach on a cold and windy evening. Most of them were ringed. Only four weren't. Some with just metal rings or plain blue showing they were likely ringed at Crimdon.
Local birds blue BZ, DI and DW were present along with three 'foreign' birds. Green IN6 from Kilcoole, Ireland.
Yellow PEH and PEJ from Gronant in North Wales ringed there in 2019. Both were at Seaton Carew in 2019 as well.
*** Update - 05/06/2019 - IN6 was ringed as a chick at Kilcoole on 24th July 2018 ***
Found this evening by Ian Foster on the roadside pool at RSPB Saltholme.
Martyn Sidwell spotted the red colour ring with white lettering. Possibly NDX or HDX. Probably from Sweden.
Flew off at 18.40 but returned 21.58.
Hopefully it will stick around long enough to confirm the ring details.
From photos as the Caspian Tern flew off over the road I managed one photo where the lettering could just about be read. I thought it was HDX. This was sent off to the Swedish Ringing scheme. there reply suggested the bird must be HOK, presumably the only viable match.

Around 20 Dunlin present as the tide dropped this morning. Two of them had metal rings and another was colour ringed. Orange ring left tibia and yellow coded ring on right tibia with black lettering similar to N1C. Metal ring on right tarsus.
It's from a scheme at Dyfi, Wales.
Seen from distance and fuzzy photo taken and sent off to ringer. Scheme is correct and hopefully they'll ID it from photos.
QuoteYELLOW NL0, was ringed (BY06618) as a juvenile on 18th September 2020 at Ynyslas National Nature Reserve near Aberystwyth, Wales. This is the first report of this individual since ringing and it is very interesting that appears to be moving in the opposite direction to what might be expected.
Purple sandpiper with pale green leg ring "EJT" spotted at Hartlepool Headland on the afternoon of 14th November. Have to admit, I'm not sure how to go about submitting records of ringed birds (advice welcome).
You'll want to report it here https://www.ringmerking.no/cr/default.asp?crside=forside
I think it's a regular visitor, so should be plenty info when you've entered your sighting.
Thanks, Chris. Bird was ringed on 13/06/2010 on Spitsbergen. Recorded in Hartlepool in several years after that but this is the first time it's been officially logged on the Headland since May 2016 (and first time it's been recorded anywhere since October 2016).

Martyn Sidwell and myself found this White Flagged, 1st year Common Tern at Seaton Snook on 14th Sept 2020. I only sent the data off yesterday and today received the details of the bird! It originated in Poland, was ringed and flagged in the nest and had travelled 1264 km in 85 days!
Cheers Ian.
One appeared on Back Saltholme mid-morning. Stayed about an hour feeding, preening and sleeping before flying to the south end of the east pond where it promptly went to sleep near the Great White Egret and two Little Egret.
Left tibia – Black flag over yellow over large pale blue.
Right tibia – metal over red over large yellow.
Believed to be from either Belgium or the Netherlands. Details sent off.

https://www.cr-birding.org/node/407 Should be this, there's 3 links for different colours, but the photo shows the same rings as your bird.
Thanks Chris, I have sent it to that site.

It was ringed as a pullus locally by Tees Ringing Group 27/05/2016. It's pretty much site faithful. I regularly see it around Greatham Creek area. K4 was from the same nest and hangs around Dormans Pool and RSPB Saltholme. They're the only two I see regularly.

QuoteAAK is a 2-year old from Kicoole colony, Co. Wicklow, BTO ringed NW46580 on12/7/2019 and the colour added 27/7/2019. Post-fledging ,it was seem later that summer at both Portrane colony (north Dublin) and Skerries 15 km north of that (also Dublin).
23 Avocet in front of Saltholme Hide yesterday morning. Including one colour ringed bird.
I thought it was a local bird when I saw it as the coded yellow flag and yellow ring are used locally as well. However it turned out to be from further afield.
Apparently it's been travelling around the country with it's sibling 6V that one maybe around as well.

**** Edited to add photos from the ringer a few days after ringing.
A colour ringed Great Egret was seen/photographed on the east pond on 30/04/2022. It had a red darvic with white lettering on the left tibia. Seen at great distance and in strong heat haze however several photos showed the ring to be AAT.
It was still present today.
QuoteAAT was ringed in the nest at RSPB Ham Wall, Somerset on 23.04.2021 and was reported from RSPB Conwy later that year.
AAT is a female. Its male sibling AAU is well travelled and recently sighted at Scaling Dam Reservoir.
Three Great Egrets at Phil Stead Hide this morning. Asleep when I arrived. They woke up to preen before AAU chased off AAT. AAT went onto the east pond whilst AAU flew towards the Wildlife Watchpoint. The un-ringed bird flew onto Holme Fleet.
AAU and AAT are siblings ringed as pulli at RSPB Ham Wall 23/04/2021.
Great egret AAU was present at Saltholme again on Sunday 5th June (photographed at "Haverton gate").
Spoonbill x4 present since 30th June 2022 on Back Saltholme. One present for several weeks prior to that date.
On 1st July Martin Blick managed to read and photograph the ringed bird.

QuoteYellow B3 was ringed 20/7/15 as an adult male on Nordenskioldkysten, Svalbard.
Last reported 4/4/23 near RSPB Mersehead on the Solway.
Possibly represents the migration event on 25/26th the other day (as I know from some tagged birds) that possibly hit northerly winds over North sea and so perhaps aborted to end up at your place
At least six Common Tern back on the main lake this morning at RSPB Saltholme. One had a metal ring but another had a black darvic with white lettering 9.51.

Yes. It nested close to the hide with an un-ringed bird. They were the last ones to nest. They had four chicks though I could only see one remaining fluffy chick when I was there yesterday. IP one of it's siblings was also present yesterday. Ringed locally June 2021.
Thanks, Ian. IS was present and correct yesterday, with one chick (now getting quite large and less fluffy).
Black-tailed Godwit GNY GYG was on west pond this morning at RSPB Saltholme. It moved briefly to Phil Stead Hide before returning to west pond. 71 Godwits in flock.

Many records of it in the UK in Suffolk and Norfolk each Aug/Sep before wintering around Lisbon, Portugal. Heads back north in February stops off in The Netherlands.
Most recent record was 23/03/2023 in The Netherlands.
A while since I've seen this one but it was in front of the Phil Stead hide on Sunday 30th July, around 13:00. Ring starting to look a bit faded. From memory, this egret hatched in Somerset.

It was here until 08/02/2023 before disappearing. I first saw it again on 09/07/2023 and then virtually every day since then. A red colour ringed bird had been around since about 01/07/2023 but was never close enough to read the ring.
It's from RSPB Ham Wall, Somerset ringed 23/04/2021.
Yellow C31 present.
