Sand Martin first ringed in Cheshire

Last night i blogged about a Sand Martin i had controlled 

Today i got great reply from David Norman of the Merseyside ringing group

Sand Martin X308602 was ringed by me as a 3J roosting at Oxmoor Local Nature Reserve, near Runcorn, Cheshire (SJ5584), on 30 July 2009.

There was quite a substantial roost in phragmites alongside a narrow brook, and I caught 462 Sand Martins and 68 Swallows in three sessions 24, 25 and 30 July.

Thanks David for such as fast reply this Sand Martin was sexed as a female and is now nesting at the Point of Ayre in the isle of Man distance 99 Miles away from where it was first ringed
