How bizarre! I should imagine this is actually 'BP' rather than '8P'. I only say that because it is almost certainly a bird ringed in Bedfordshire in 2005. This bird has an amazing history though, detailed on the BTO's 'Demog Blog': http://btoringing.blogspot.com/2009/06/ ... -move.html I'll make sure the ringer sees this and they'll send you full details.

I saw this Barnacle Goose on 9/5/09 at RSPB Middleton Lakes in Staffs in the company of two other birds. At the time I hoped it was from Svalbard but I was told it was an east anglian bird which usually winters at Slimbridge. |

Mark, The picture on the link shows the ring on the bird as I remember it. As I said, the light was fading, so BP was the likely lettering rather than 8P. Who ringed it ? Phil |
