    Ringed Spoonbill in Suffolk

    Hi, Saw these Spoonbills last weekend on Aldeburgh Marsh, Suffolk. Any idea of the scheme please?. I think it may be a French scheme - Spoonbills | cr-birding - but the ring looks black rather than dark blue. Gi

    Some recent ring observations

    On my old patch, near to my previous job, I would regularly sight colour-ringed birds. Being an estuary I had an interesting selection of waders, gulls and the odd other species. It did get to a point where I realised I would be scanning a flock of waders but would be checking the legs first...

I had to get a new phone last autumn and bought an Honor 9. I decided to give it a go for digiscoping on a trip to East...
