Colour-ringed Shag (sadly deceased)

On 29th December Peter Munn noticed a dead Shag with a red darvic ring (BALB) on the beach at Druidston whilst doing a litter pick. He sent me the photo and we now know that the bird was ringed on Ynys Gwylan Fawr off Aberdaron on the Llyn Peninsula on 13th June 2021.  Details of the project can be found HERE (thanks to Steve Stansfield, Bardsey Bird & Field Observatory, for the information).
