Early recoveries from 2018

As we get ready for our annual visit - only a week to go - a small batch of recoveries have come in.

Stefan managed a couple of days in early July on ENR and caught five of our previously ringed birds:
from 2016 birds 2716500 and 2716744 (700 and 701 days between ringing and recapture)
from 2017 birds 2716966, 2726860 and 2726875 (all around 350 days since first ringing).

Besides these we had four recoveries courtesy of Hugh from Priest Island - all recaught on the 17 July 2018. All of these were much older birds and caught without tape lure at a breeding colony. One wonders if this is where ENR ringed birds predominantly breed.
