Wing-tags' Travels

Phil Littler confirms that IL was indeed positively identified in Felixstowe on 30 October, so assuming he was the distant bird that Richard C saw on the Corse on 22 October,  he really has crossed the country three times in his short life. This is by no means exceptional, Phil says, they are very mobile: in the early days of the project AD's movements were as follows:


Holme, Norfolk    24.08.2011
Sheppey, Kent     31.10.2011
Newport, Monmouth 11.09.2012
Goldcliff, Gwent  16.09.2012
Chew Valley       17.11.2012
Blakeney, Norf    07.02.2013
Dale, Pembroke    01.04.2013
