A series of recaptures

These just in - a series of birds all initially caught on Nan Ron and then recaught several years later back on Nan Ron (possibly indicating all are on-island breeders). We made all of the original captures over several years, Stefan made all of the recaptures over 7-8th July 2021.

Figures show - elapsed days between captures, d, and then the (year) of initial capture. x(number) indicates a similar number of birds, two, three, and four, of same elapsed time.
