Hi

 

I finally got a letter today telling me where the first greylag had been ringed and how old it was,it was ringed on the 8th of july 1999 by A G Ball and i shot it on 12 nov 07and it said it was over a year when it was rung.

 

And it was rung about 2km away from where i shot it so noting mega exiting on that side of things but hopefully i'll soon get one that has been rung in iceland .

 

Going out tonight ,maybe i'll get another ringed one.

It's very interesting all this ringing info, some of the ducks can travel amazing distances in very short times. I've had 18 rings over the years and waiting for the info back on 2 from this season.

 

Here's one from the past that got about a bit.
