While out birdwatching David Heath spotted a colour ringed Cormorant at Waterbeach Gravel Pits, Cambridgeshire and was amazed by its history.
Green HLF was ringed as a chick at Inverbervie, Aberdeenshire on 25 July 2009 and was next seen at Waterbeach Gravel Pits in March 2010, which is a good movement of 530km. Interestingly this bird was then resighted at Inverbervie as a non-breeding bird in June and July 2010. I was then seen again back at Waterbeach Gravel Pits on 16 Jan 2011.

Its very interesting to see if this bird is so site faithful in the future.
Thanks to David Heath and Mark Grantham for letting us know.
