You can report to the BTO here http://www.bto.org/volunteer-surveys/ringing/ringing-scheme
I take it that it's colour ringed if there are rings on both legs?
if you have details you may be able to look up the project here, although remember to report it to!

Was it a yellow inscribed flag-type ring? Could be Norwegian...

We had one two weeks ago in Hants - also ringed in Norway, 9 days prior. Its yellow ring number was - rather strangely - SEX http://www.goingbirding.co.uk/hants/show_photo.asp?photo_id=5047.

Minsmere c-ringed Little Stint last week too- NSZ, same colours and presumably same scheme.
Someone seems to have been busy up in Norway!
I had a Ringed Plover this afternoon with yellow 3 letter flag and red ring that looks like it might be from same the scheme if they use similar combos across species, but haven't had a chance to check it yet.

Sorry to disagree mate but apparently this bird was ringed at Klepp-west Norway, if you type in to google its about as far west as Norway gets-not far at all from east Scotland

Presumably ringed on passage, not at the nest
