Twite and Cormorant to Ireland

Kev sent me a nice email from a Mr Joseph Delvin saying he had seen a Twite at Giles Quay, Co. Louth, Ireland on 17/01/2014 wearing our Colour rings.

This bird was ringed last winter between September 2012 and April 2013


And is our first record of a Twite to Ireland. Joseph tells me they do have breeding Twite there, so  some of our winter flock may come from there as well.

Also Joseph has seen one of our Cormorants colour ring Z3D at Ballagan Point Co. Louth this bird was ringed as a chick at the Maughold colony back in 2011.
