I always love finding colour rings on any bird but when I saw a Ringed Plover at Davidstow I was itching to find out where it had come from , amazingly it was ringed in Norway ( 1465 km away! ) . It just shows how far all birds travel and we shouldn't take for granted how amazing migration is!
Hi Robert,
Thank you very much for the report about Common Ringed Plover NSU. Its
life history you find in the attachment. In the end of the attachment
you find information about other colour ringing projects we work with,
etc.
Best wishes
