Didn't go in the end. Set off but decided against M6 in heavy rainfurious.gif and it takes forever on the A6.
So took a detour to Martin Mere, see that thread.

Hi Steve,

I had a colour ringed Blackwit at Martin Mere last Sunday.

Left Leg - Lime green over orange
Right Leg - Orange over red.

This bird was also ringed in Iceland.

Cheers Kane

I was there two days after your posting and noted that one of the Blackwits was colour-ringed. Just had a report back from Iceland where the bird was ringed (presumably as a chick) 4 years ago. It flew over here that autumn and seems to have spent the rest of its life in Norfolk, Cambridgeshire or Lincolnshire.
