I have logged this Oik with Euring, but the CR-birding website doesn't show any schemes that match, so if anyone knows the scheme and has a contact I'll send it straight to them

Right tarsus - White colour ring with 2 black letters (PY)
Left tarsus - Red above green

Possibly a metal ring on one tibia, but I only caught a glimpse when it walked and couldn't be sure which leg.

Bragar, Lewis, Outer Hebrides.

Thanks, Mick

Actually it is on the cr website but it is not straightforward finding it.

What's the trick to finding schemes there? I've been stumped by it on a number of occasions.

Go to :- http://www.cr-birding.org/
Click on "Info Field-Observer"
Click on "Find a Colour Ringing Project"
http://www.cr-birding.org/colourprojects
Fill in the species etc, in this case, just the name will do
http://cr-birding.org/colourproject...alegus&tid=2647&tid_1=All&tid_4=All&tid_5=All
Scroll down clicking on the "Title" "Waders" individually until you come to the one which fits. In this case, the 10th one down.

Well I did all that - and still didn't find it! Must be I skipped a line as I worked through them.
3/10, must try harder ......

Thanks to Malky and Steve .... and to Nutcracker for admitting to similar incompetence!

I have sent an e mail and photo and we advise any response.
