Two 1st-winter birds, Bay of Culkein (DAH). One of these birds had a combination of coloured-rings on its legs. We have reported this to the appropriate ringing project and will give an update on receipt of their reply. UPDATE 10-10-23 – we have heard from the Museum Stavanger that this bird was ringed on 22 Sept 2023 at Makkevika Wildlife Reserve in Norway. At that time it weighed 271.2 g. So in 16 days it had travelled 782 km.
