The group totals for September were lower than average due to the weather and holidays They were as follows with retraps shown (**) : Wren 2, Dunnock 5(4), Robin 11(1), Blackbird 2(1), Song Thrush 1, Blackcap 5, Chiffchaff 8, Goldcrest 13, Long-tailed Tit (2), Coal Tit 3 (3), Blue Tit 11 (4), Great Tit 2 (2), Chaffinch 5, Greenfinch 2, Bullfinch 19 (1).
A Ruddy Turnstone was seen on 23/03/2011 at one of our ringing sites (Foulney Island) . The white flag, it probably had another on its other leg, indicates it was ringed in Autumn 1994 at Nunavut, Ellesmere Island CANADA. We saw another on Foulney in 2007 and I would strongly suggest that this is the same bird.

very interesting. BTW SOSSA had captured an Albatross that was ringed 40 years ago....
