We were down on the Gann today and in the field opposite to the Gann parking area we saw this Curlew with a yellow HW ring on the left leg and an orange ring on the right. Thought it might be of
interest.

Many thanks for reporting
curlew O/Y HW, which as Mike says was ringed by Tony Cross. It was
ringed on 26/03/2017 at Caersws, Powys, and was associated with a roost
of predominately locally breeding birds. It was re-sighted at the Gann
on 14/10/2017, 27/12/2017, and 20/01/2017. The last two resightings were
in the field next to the Gann car park, which seems to be an important
feeding pasture. It seems to have settled there for much of the winter.
I
will add the sighting to our database, and inform Tony. We are very
keen to hear of all resightings, even if (or perhaps especially if) the
same bird is recorded on many occasions, so will welcome further
resightings of this, or any other colour-ringed bird.
Thanks once again,
Paddy
