Avocet resighting news!

Yellow flag F3, originally ringed at Marfield NR, N Yorks on 10/06/25 was resighted @wwtworldwide.bsky.social Slimbridge, Gloucs on 25/02/26, 280km south

A previous report in December suggests this bird overwintered here

Thanks to @ellaslinn.bsky.social for the report!

A fantastic day at Fountains Abbey this sunday for a live ringing demo!

After a slow day for passerines, adding another two mute swans to our ongoing RAS was a nice way to end the day 🦒🦒

Thanks to all those that came along and to @nationaltrust.org.uk for having us!

We’ve made our overdue move over to BlueSky! Keep an eye out here, or on our website (linked on our profile) for all future updates from the group!

On the subject of migration, please enjoy this fantastic male Blackbird from this winter’s ringing at Ripon Parks!
