Brent geese and lapland bunting

While passing Dale beach today there were 19 Brents, one of which was ringed. The right leg had a white ring with the letter B in black - it might be Peter's bird from earlier in the month, in which case it should have had an orange ring on left - but couldn't see another ring on the left - maybe it was obscured by mud.

There was a smart male lapland bunting on Dale airfield.
