2 Years On

On Sunday Andy and i re caught a colour ringed Meadow Pipit from 2007 at Kex Gill re caught at the same site and only a day away from the same date.

What the Vismigers had to say

"Speaking to Andy J last night. He says that yesterday they re-caught a mipit at Kex Gill N Yorks which they had originally colour ringed exactly two years ago (all but a day!) at the same site.... suggests at least that mipits might use the same migration routes at the same time of
year!..... interesting! !"

"For a Meadow Pipit, I think that's an amazing result! All the more so since adult Mipits are so much harder to catch than 1y birds. Nice one Andy. "
