I've just had an email about a ringed Mute Swan (lime green NY9) that Will read at Passage House on the 26th of April. It was ringed by the RSPCA after crash landing in someones garden in Tiverton on the 29th October 2010 weighing 7.9 kg. It was one of that years juveniles. It was then rehabilitated and released at Exeter Quay on the 1st December 2010 weighing 10.1 kg. It's only other ring recovery was at the same location a year later. Always interesting to find out about the history of ringed birds!
Other news: A male Hen Harrier was seen over Teignmouth on Thursday - First of the year, (saying this makes it sound like we'll get another one this year!). Would have loved to have seen it!
The Stonechats have fledged with the parents still feeding them. Only two of them though. There may have been more hiding behind the grass I suppose.
