Nothing new over last couple of days, but news of two ringing controls have just come in via our ringing secretary Martin Wells.
A Chiffchaff BLX523 I ringed at Carlton Marsh on 31-7-2010 as juvenile was controlled on 12-10-2010 at Trunvel, Treogat (Finistre) France 666kms SWW. This is only our second Chiffchaff recovery and our first abroad.
A Sedge Warbler X076046 ringed by Dave Smith at Carlton Marsh as a juvenile on 17-7-2011 was controlled at Le Massereau, Frossay (Loire-atlantique) France on 15-8-2011 707kms South. This is our 2nd recovery in France, 1 in Spain and 1 in Lanzarotte in September 1986 was discovered by a German scientist as a prey item whilst ringing Eleonora's Falcon young in the nest. What were the chances of that happening! It was in fact the first ever British Sedge Warbler recovery on the Canary Islands.
