Ringed puffin (1 Viewer)

Hi!

Last summer, on July 7th, I observed a ringed Puffin on the island of Lunga (Scotland). I could not see the entire code of the ring, but it was wearing a metallic ring on the right tarsus with the sender "BTO" and the (incomplete) code "EZ3025(0?)".
Could someone help me locate where this bird was ringed? I would put the observation on the BTO ring reports page, but because of not having the complete code, it would be incorrect.

Thank you!
 
A brief look on Demography Online (DemOn) shows EZ30250 is a ring used on a Puffin and that it was ringed in July 2018. However without submitting the full details I don't think I can find out more. So I'll ask a friend! Bear with me.
 
What I did when I couldn't make out one number on a metal ring was put a question mark instead of it (you could also write what you think it was in coments), and they matched my record to the bird themselves.
