Ringed Dunlin – 25 May - Farmoor Reservoir

www.joncnature.co.uk

I’ve mixed views on ringing,  initially wondering why 3 rings then becoming increasingly curious what history may be available – I can’t have it both ways.  Just received the following response from the Mid Wales Ringing Group 

>>> This is the first report since it was ringed (BT74263) as a juvenile on 19th September 2016 at Ynyslas National Nature Reserve near Aberystwyth, Wales

  

The colour-ringing is part of a project aiming to study the origins, destinations and turn-over rates of Dunlin using this important (RAMSAR designated) migration stop-over site on the West Wales coast. In the last three years over 4,000 Dunlin have been individually colour-ringed with many sighting reported around Britain and Ireland as well as movements recorded to or from Greenland, Iceland, Faero Islands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Mauritania, Senegal and The Gambia. <<<
