Adult female Shoveler seen at Middlemarsh Farm on 250417. Metal ring right leg and a plain yellow ring left leg.

This is one from the Lower Derwent Valley NNR to the south east of York. It was ringed as a duckling on 16/7/2012 at bank island, Wheldrake – one of a brood of seven – ring number FH51201. Hope that is of interest. This is the first UK sighting of birds marked in this way – most of our ducklings appear to head south rapidly post fledging and get shot in France (although a couple have made it over to Russia before being shot) . Thanks for the record.

Regards

Nige

Excellent sighting, Nige. Refreshing change from all those gulls!

A pleasant change indeed Stuart. Sent off full details to the ringing scheme and received the following FYI:

Brilliant – thank you. It was a bit of a long shot using colour-rings of ducks like this but as we know so little about British bred ducklings (such as Shoveler) it was worth the effort to get something other than a recovery from shooting (which probably reflects where shooting occurs as much than where the birds are using) – so a really valuable sighting

Good to know she is still going strong

Cheers

Craig
