Colour-ringed Cormorant - part 2

No birding tonight; however, I had a message back (already) from the BTO about the colour-ringed Cormorant that was on the Main Pit at Collingham yesterday. The bird was ringed as a chick in the nest at Rutland Water by the Rutland Ringing Group on 22nd May 2012. Apparently this is the first time it has been reported since then.

On the subject of colour-ringed birds, it is interesting that there haven't been any sightings of colour-ringed Little Egrets this summer/autumn; last year there were several sightings of multiple birds that had been ringed at a breeding site in Lincolnshire.
