Ring details

On Wednesday 15th of December 2010 whilst visiting Slimbridge WWT reserve in Gloucestershire I recorded a drake Pochard with a sky blue nasal saddle. The number on this saddle read (3=) so I forwarded the details to the Euring website and I have now received the following details:

The bird was ringed as a 1 year old adult on 16/11/2005 in France at Saint-Philbert-De-Grand-Lieu. It has since been recorded every winter at Slimbridge. The re-sighting details are as follows:

30/12/2006 SLIMBRIDGE Gloucestershire UK

10/12/2008 SLIMBRIDGE Gloucestershire UK

20/10/2010 SLIMBRIDGE Gloucestershire UK
27/10/2010 SLIMBRIDGE Gloucestershire UK

Thanks to Alain Caizergues of the Office National de la Chasse et de la Faune Sauvage for sending me this information.

    quite a decent age for a Pochard Jase, given all the shooters it has to dodge!!

    It must have been the to heaviest of all, and there wasn't any space on both legs.
