Unreal. We’ll have to give up trying to age Terns now. πŸ€”πŸ˜‚The second bird this year that’s gone completely against what we thought we knew. Shows the importance of Darvics πŸ’ͺ🏻

Send them back to Swarovski to be fixed Col. At least you could sell them when you get them back. Get a bit of money toward your new bins 😬

Listen up anyone working in the Irish Sea this summer! We tagged a bunch of kitts in Liverpool Bay and want to gather as many resightings as we can. If you spot these yellow colour rings please give me a shout (dla205@exeter.ac.uk) πŸ¦πŸ’πŸ’›
