He emailed me back to say that it was definitely one of his birds, but couldn`t give me precise details, due to the bird having lost one of its colour-rings.
Anyway, he was in Barnsley last weekend and he decided to drop into Cortonwood, where he managed to locate the bird and read the digits on the BTO ring (something i`ve tried to do on several occasions) and it turns out that the bird was rung at Crompton Lodges, Bolton, Greater Manchester on 27th December 2010.
And while Kane was at Cortonwood last weekend, he caught & processed 2 of my local birds. One of which i photographed yesterday ;
White BSI (the other one being White BSH). Be interesting to see if these stay put or wander elsewhere.

There was a Coot with a green ring on its right leg at Scout Dike Reservoir on 11th April.
Sorry - that should read left leg
Martin, obviously Coots move more than first thought.
The single colour rings would have 3 digits on them.
