Colour Ringed Knot - Update

During the flurry of Knot sightings in West Wales over the last few weeks, we have received data on the colour ringed Knot on the 7th March at the Gann. It was first ringed in Waddenzee August 2014, resighted by the same ringer at Porsangerfjord Norway during spring migration and recaptured by Pemb's Ringing Group 7th March 2018. A short but interesting life history for a bird that has an average weight of 137g. We still have a lot to learn about migrating Waders that choose to use the Gann as a stop over. The continued resighting of colour ringed Waders by the users of the Pemb's Bird blog is very much appreciated.
