I had attempted to track it down too John (on your behalf) and got the same reply from Bernard Spaans today.

Now what were you saying (ranting no.gif) about ringing projects now biggrin.gif

A big thanks to Bernard and of course to Mark Grantham for his input.





still don't like rings on birds,expecially all, the reed bunts at pennyconfuse.gif,but it is nice to know a knot has travelled 1000 of miles to winter on the ribble,and over 10 years must have travelled 20,000 + miles.So i suppose thats proof that even with that many rings on one bird,it was living happily with all the others,and could have been the oldest knot at southport that daybiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif
