The perfect recovery - Shag TIT

Just occasionally we get the perfect recovery come into the office, with all the details we need. This was the case with this particular report, of 1418041. This colour-ringed Shag was found on the beach at Snook Point and not only did we receive a photo of the ring, but also photos of the colour ring, the bird itself and even the exact place it was found!


It was ringed on 12 June 2009 on the island of Fidra, off the Lothian coast near North Berwick. Oh, and you do wonder if the ringers had a sense of humour...

  1. Should have made the ring a blue one to complete the joke.

  2. Wahahaha - that's exactly the sort of thing that gets our weekly email spam-bounced.
