Dutchman hiding out at Abingdon

Kees Camphuysen has quickly responded to say this LB-back was ringed as an adult male on 28 May 2006 at breeding colony in Texel, on the Dutch coast, 435.1 kms distant. The lack of a metal ring is intentional on birds ringed at this particular colony and the M on the colour ring denotes male. Since ringing, it has been seen 70 times at the colony and bred there just twice.

But until yesterday M.AAK had never been reported from anywhere else !
