Tail end Charlies

Two birds notified recently, one of a bird (2700081) caught on Nan Ron on the 29th July 2014 and recaptured 27 days later 27km down the coast at Faraid Head, and another (2682142) originally caught on Nan Ron on 29th Jul 2013 and caught at the same ringing session at Faraid Head as the former bird this time 392days had elapsed between captures.

Outstanding

These are the results of the ENR to ENR retraps.
This year thirteen birds were recaptured wearing years placed on them previously at Nan Ron - in between they will have covered many thousands of miles.

2531232, ringed in 2001, so 13 years old.
The oldest recorded STOPE was 31 years, 11 months and 9 days.

2625400, ringed in 2007, 7 years old

2638919, 2641478 both 5 years old.
2668593, 4 years old.

Seven birds were two years old, twelve one year old, and nine birds were same year retraps.

Outstanding are...

...our own retraps on Nan Ron from year to year. Hopefully time over the next couple of weeks will permit me to get on top of this.
The attendee list for 2015 already has names upon it.

A run of recoveries.

This will be the first of three posts documenting reported recoveries. This one, the shortest, will be birds notified as firstly rung on Nan Ron and subsequently recaptured in later years. These are birds controlled by our group but firstly ringed by one of the other groups visiting Nan Ron. Who knows how many miles they will have covered in the intervening years.
