House Sparrow in garden (1 Viewer)

I've a number of House Sparrows in the garden and I managed to get some digiscoped photos of them on the feeders. A female had a metal ring, which with a bit of patience, got the full ring code - TP82373. Details filled in on BTO Euring site.

Have also found a second bird that hadn't realised was present although don't have the full code yet.

Eventually managed to get the second ring code - TX46962 - again on a female House Sparrow. Details also submitted so looking forward to receiving info on them.
