Oystercatcher Resightings



In response to Sam's post, we thought a brief map would inform of the Oystercatchers we colour ring on the Gann and the resightings that are reported to us from some of the distant locations. These all feed into the data set of the many resightings from local sites in Pembrokeshire (Skokholm, Skomer, Newgale, Sandy Haven, Angle Bay) along with some of the "almost local" (well as the Oystercatcher flies) Ginst Point Carmarthenshire, Whiteford Sands Gower.

We have received today confirmation that 'A1' has been resighted on the Isle of Tiree again. 'A1' was first ringed on the Gann 14/03/2016, resighted on Tiree 08 & 13/03/2017, and now again this week.

We appreciate every resighting no matter how many times a bird is seen, even on the same site.
