Same applied to PKCS last year - I didn't know it was a Caspian when I read the ring number (at ~300m range!).At Amble Harbour, together with PKCS (who is now a full adult). With it being the same type of yellow ring, I'd been thinking it was perhaps from the same ringing group, and thus potentially perhaps another Caspian, or perhaps a Yellow-legged.No reply yet on 5A2B from the scheme organiser, anyone know if this scheme is still operative?</blockquote>
