Pleasant couple of hours birding Thursday morning, partly in the good company of Richard Ellis.
Came across a Rock pipit feeding on the seaweed strewn high-tide line, and surprised to see it was colour-ringed.
Right leg: green ring: Left leg: white ring with a capital letter A.
Unfortunately it flew off before I could get a pic or any more details.
Haven't been able to track down the exact ringing project yet but initial investigations by Richard indicated it could be from Norway or Northern England....be very interesting to know!
A nice variety of duck and waders present including, c400 Dunlin, Greenshank, 20 Redshank, snipe, 8 Black wits, c30 Curlew, 235 Lapwing, 70 Teal, 30+ shelduck etc, and notably, 16 Grey Plover (9 in pic).
