4CLX ringed as a male cygnet on 2/12/2013 at Sefton Park, Liverpool.
4CFL ringed as a female cygnet on 22/10/2016 at Chorlton WP.
Both have been at Alexandra Park for a while.

Hi Callum, send an email over to Steve Christmas who will most likely be the ringer, he usually replies anyway when he sees the post.

se.christmas@ntlworld.com

Any colour ringed birds of most species can usually be traced to a particular ringing group by going on cr-birding website and simply filling in the species and ring details, unless its a Gull from Scandinavia in which case it becomes a bit more tricky. Hope this helps.

 Apologies if this is a well known answer on here, but is it possible to track ringed birds? And if so, how?

 

Two ringed mute swans , would be interesting to know where theyre from originally.

 

Numbers were 4CLX and 4CEL.

At noon today, the ring-necked duck was in the south pool, separate from all the tufted except for one male. They stayed close to each other while I was there, diving in synchrony.

Tufted Duck 63 counted this morning
