Colour-ringed pale-bellied Brent Goose

Info from Graham McElwaine of the Irish Brent Goose Research Group.

The Brent Goose has been here before: Ringed Iceland in 2009, Devon that winter, Ireland on the way back to Iceland. Winter 2010-11 in Devon, back through Ireland to Iceland.  Down through Ireland on the back to Devon, but stopping in Angle Bay on the way north in spring 2012.  Winter 2012-13 in Dublin Bay.  First sighting since then at Angle Bay this weekend.

Have we missed it on stop-overs in other years?
