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.

Curlews OYNY and RNGW Seaton
Common yesterday afternoon.

Pink-footed Goose with grey neckband XFP was on Cowpen Bewley tip pools and 31/12/2019 and still there on 03/01/2020.

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!
