Ringed MUHOS, POHJOIS-POHJANMAA, OULU, FINLAND on 03/07/2018 as 'young out of nest'.

There's a third bird with a white colour ring but it's remained to distant to read other than it looks to have four digits rathe than just the three.

It's been a regular bird passing through this area each year.

Update from ringer  - BHG CHICK EZ33372 2P22 18.06.2019 Elvanfoot, S.Lanarkshire

Eight Barnacle Geese on Cowpen Marsh on 29/04/2023.

One bird with yellow darvic on left tarsus marked with B3. Metal on right tarsus.

The other seven had no rings.

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.

I've not seen it before but I believe it may be a 2019 bird ringed on the reserve.

32 on the beach this evening. Several colour ringed birds present though most too distant to read.

Most interesting were

Yellow UNB. Ringed Inner Farne 16/05/2017
