In a post on 8th August I mentioned a ring found in an Eagle Owl's nest. I heard back from the BTO and this too was an Oystercatcher tjeld ringed in the UK.
Here is an extract from the report I received from the BTO:

This bird was ringed by Wash Wader RG
as age 2nd year , sex unknown on 12-Aug-1975 at Friskney New Marsh,
Lincolnshire OS Map reference TF4954, co-ordinates 53deg 4min N 0deg 13min E As the nest was "new" to me I have no idea how long the ring had been there - but this bird could certainly have been pretty old when it was taken. An amazing parellel with the previous ring I found in an Eagle Owl's nest! For details of the previous find see this post |
