Byron's chough

Byron - if the bird in your photo is yellow/green (left)  - red (right), then it was ringed as a nestling on Ramsey in 2004 at the Colomennod site. It was one of 4 that fledged from that nest. It wasn't seen on Ramsey in 2005 but was seen regularly in 2006 in non breeding flocks. It was seen once on Ramsey in 2007, on 9/5, again in a feeding flock. It was next seen on Ramsey on 20/9/08. It was not seen again until 6/8/11 and I've not seen it here since.

I'm sure Bob H will have more on it's wanderings away from here!
