French Kittiwakes in Cornwall

Over the summer, my small colony of Kittiwakes in west Cornwall held at least seven colour-ringed birds, all from Point du Raz. Some of these have fascinating histories, so a shamless plug for the BTO's Demog Blog which has more detail:

Hi Mark,
I have also had 8 of the kittiwakes ringed by Jean-Yves Monnat in Finistere, and that I have picked up here in Wexford, around Rosslare Harbour area.
I had 4 of these in 2008 all around Carnsore Point, but none in years between then and now!
Maybe they only venture this far in certain years?

Have you got full details for these birds as it doesn't look like they were ever submitted to BTO, so it would be good to get them on the database?
