Chris Swaine has traced the ringers of the Common Tern, with Darvic U33 black on white right leg and metal on left leg at Anglers Country Park. (The DARVIC was actually bleached out pale green)
Andy Smith, Watermead Country Park Leicester, gave him the following information
Yes it does look like one of ours. The colour rings are Lime green that can appear pale.
Lime U33 metal SR45297 was rung at Watermead Country Park, which is on the northern edge of the City of Leicester, on 23/6/2014. Looks like it is starting to moult into winter plumage. This is a
great record as we have had none of this bird since it was rung. Also
you become the 20th person to send me records. This year I have had
records from Merseyside, Dorset, Spurn, Lincolnshire,
France and Namibia.
This year we colour rung 25 juvs. This brings our total
to 135 since 2014.
Many thanks for taking the trouble to send me your sighting.
