Saw one in January at Martin Mere that had been ringed in Bolton - thought that was a long traveller, for a Coot, but it obviously had nothing on the Cornish / Irish birds

Have a look at Kane Brides ringing blog. Lots of locally ringed Coot info.

Cheers
Jason

I could be wrong, but if I remember correctly one I ringed at Pennington turned up in Ireland. T'was a good few years ago.

I never realised that they moved around such great distances.

In 2010 one ringed at Southport as part of the same project was seen at Par Beach Pool, Cornwall!

Found this on the 'We bird North Wales' blog.

Makes you wonder how far Coots actually move around.
