Message: <blockquote data-quote="thenorthernmonkey" data-source="post: 1461458" data-attributes="member: 56447">Many thanks to all of you for your information, help and advice.So far i have established that only one establishment in Cornwall keeps Goldies and they havent lost theirs. It's not the Sussex bird gone walkabout because we know through birdboybowley that this bird still has anklets. We know through Mike from Ebbw Vale that one drifted through Wales earlier so is this the bird. Guess we'll never know.Having spoken to the county recorder tonight the record has now been submitted to the county for acceptance. Thanks Darrell for explaining what to do. If the record is accepted then only Angie the finder and her partner  will have Goldie on their Cornwall lists. Once again many thanks for all your help. It's been a great two days getting the information together etc. I dont know who will aquire the most fame - Angie for finding it and photographing it or me for going home for 45 minutes to eat and dipping on it bearing in mind i'm the reserve warden!!!</blockquote>
