Partially-read c-r European Golden Plover, St Mary's Island, Northumbs., UK, today - can anyone assist?
Left leg - no rings visible at all
Right leg, tibia - white ring with black alphanumeric code ending -1 (other characters hidden in fluffed up belly feathering)
Right leg, tarsus - plain red ring above, metal ring below
Couldn't find anything on the cr-birding.org website, but I find navigating that website tricky.
Thanks!

Excellent, thanks! I'll post any details I get back.
Edit: unfortunately no joy - 50 birds with that combination.

For those of you who are BTO members and get copies of Bird Study, the following reference is a paper on tufted duck movements using nasal saddles as a CR marker, one of these birds moved to Frampton RSPB reserve and bred this year!
Movement of wintering diving ducks: new insights from nasal saddled individuals Gourlay-Larour M-L, Caizergues A et al; Bird Study (2012) 59: 266-278
Highlights how useful CR sightings can be....

Ringed Swallow
I noticed that one of the parents in my shed that is feeding juveniles at the moment had a small silver ring on its right leg. I ask the local B.T.O person if it were possible to not only catch the ringed bird but was he willing to ring the 4 juveniles and remaining adult.
He came about three evenings ago and without any fuss or frightening the birds, calmly caught, measured, weighed all birds, in no time at all. Each were carefully ringed.
When we went into the shed the birds were all in the nest and when we left the shed again they were back in the nest and not a peep from any of them.
I went down in the morning and all the juveniles were perched on the rafters being fed and smartly all had kept the rings on.
The adult bird with the ring had been rung two years ago about two miles away on a farm as a chick. It had been to Africa twice and landed so close to where it had been hatched. I think that is so interesting. I forgot to say that the same man who came to ring my birds had also rung the first bird.

White ringed Herring gull A3BM & a Black ringed GBBG (looked like) J353.
English & Norwegian I think. Steve are your 'southern norway' Gulls Black with white text? any chance of a reply from the folks running the project?
Sorry forgot to mention, both in large flocks on Hoylake lifeboat station this morning.

Only just noticed this message
That GBB will be a Norwegian bird. How sure were you of the code? It is an automated record entry system and if you were sure I could enter it for you.
The Herring Gull will be a rehabilitated bird ringed by the RSPCA.

21 colour-ringed LBB Gulls on the landfill site I visit weekly.
Only five were totally new for the site, with eight having been seen earlier this year and 13 also there in 2012 and/or 2013.
Three Norway, one Denmark, one Germany, four Belgium, one Channel Islands, one Spain (ringed in winter), and the rest English-ringed though one of them likely breeds on Iceland.

Finally got a Med Gull ring-read last Sunday. Info straight back via email, metal-ringed as a pullus in 2005 but colour-marked in 2007. Turns out to be quite a regular in North Devon, see below:

My regular Thursday visit produced 17 colour-ringed LBB Gulls on the local landfill site this week.
Most interesting of them was one ringed in northern Germany as a pullus in 2008. It obviously is a very good time keeper as its one and only known previous visit to the UK was to the same site on October 24th 2013, just a day later than this year.

One of the Twite we colour ringed G/M B/W has been reported (Thanks to Chris Atkin) 150km away on the Lincs coast just 3 weeks after ringing.
Likely to be plenty more of our birds between there and the flocks reported in North Norfolk.
Would really appreciate any local observers having a look for us.
