Red could be this one, but can't make any letters out. http://www.cr-birding.org/node/506

Word came back from Chris Redfern from the Newcastle Group with the following information :-
Blue-UVD is DK52815, ringed as a chick on Coquet Island, Northumberland on 12 July 2014; it was seen as a juvenile at Findhorn, near Inverness/Peterhead, on 24-25 August 2014, but has not been seen since so it is great to have your observation! Many thanks indeed!

Nice one. I saw around 14 on the groynes yesterday, but couldn't really tell if any had rings, guessing so.
