In
a couple of posts below mention is made of Oystercatcher migration
through the Teifi estuary. Last Sunday - 15th July, Gary Reynolds found
a colour-ringed Oystercatcher in the roost viewed from The Webley
Hotel.
Green T554 --
The Oystercatcher was ringed --
........ Kverme, Brusand, Hå, Rogaland, Norway -
58°32'37"N 005°44'25"E
Aged as a 3+ year old bird and ringed om the 3rd May this year - 2018
T554 has travelled 720km from the site of ringing to the Teifi and appeared to move on after roosting.
The Migration Atlas (BTO) shows this to be a known movement for birds from this presumably Norwegian breeding population.
