Grassholm Oystercatcher

First re-sighting of colour ringed Oystercatcher number 78 today on Grassholm. One of a pair vigorously defending a territory on the south side of the island, probable breeders from their behaviour.

Ringed by Michael and Theresa on 14th October 2018 as an adult at the Gann.

Not much else to report from the Exeter Uni team who have been out on the island for the last few days other than wood pigeon and grey heron.
