Steve Interesting about the Ringed Egret. I had one at Gibralter Point a couple of weeks ago (Not your Bird) and I found out from Stuart Britton that the person to contact was a Richard Hearn at the WWT who is doing a project and is eager to get information about ringed Egrets. His e-mail address is richard.hearn@wwt.org.uk He sent me lots of info about the Gib Bird. Malcolm. |

Hi Steve Just wondering, but is there any chance that you may have got the lettering on the colour rings of the Little Egret at MSQ transposed? Its just that I had a colour ringed Little Egret just over the border in Nott's at Collingham New Workings on Sat 20th Aug with the following colour combination; Left leg, red ring with white C (ring above knee) Right leg, yellow ring with black K (ring above knee) The same bird was at Whisby NP today (per D Nicholson) and it would be good to know if it is indeed the same bird as MSQ. We have never proved any link between MSQ and Whisby before although we have known of a east/west movement between the Trent and Whisby for some time now. Cheers Grahame |

Hello Grahame Its possible, after reading Chris's report again, more than likely. I'll have a word with C. Mike next time I see him he's seen it a couple of times. I'll also PM you Richard Hearns reply. Should it come via e-mail Regards - Steve |

Just for information, red "C" yellow "K" seen at Collingham and Whisby was ringed as a nestling this year at North Somercotes by Ian Kingswood of the Mid-Lincs Ringing Group. |
