Hi James,

The ringer is away until beginning of July so I registered with Animal Track - eventually!

It's a good find.

It was ringed on passage on the North Atlantic coast of Mauritania, North Africa on 06/12/2015

There have been no other sightings.

A colour ringed bird landed on the rail in front of Paddy's Pool this morning.

Black - 3.32

It was ringed as a pulli at RSPB Saltholme on 04/07/14

The first re-sighting since it was ringed.

Three colour ringed birds seen over the last three days.

A speedy response from the ringer of this bird seen yesterday.

Quite an old bird. BTO lists average age as being 18yrs and the oldest from ringing records as being 23yrs.

This is quite an old bird now - at least 19 years old.

A colour ringed Black-tailed Godwit LR/WG - one of three colour ringed birds seen that day - seen from Saltholme Hide on 24/07/2016 was ringed at Le Duer, Sarzeau, NW France on 29/10/2001

There have been quite a few sightings of this bird over the years though only in France and the UK

It was nice to see this regular wintering Curlew back on Seaton Common this morning. I think it's the oldest bird we still have around.

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

On 16/11/2016 there were around 120-130 Twite at Seaton Snook. Amongst them was a metal ringed bird. From photos taken I was able to read the full ring number of S233131 which I submitted that day to the BTO.

I received a reply from them today.

Just running through group photos on memory card and OY NY was back on Seaton Common on 16.12 @15:00

I've seen around a dozen different birds returned so far this winter. OY NY remains the oldest.  There are a couple more older birds ringed in the early 90's and 2000's.
I keep the coordinator updated.

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.
