Love getting recoveries, Sedge Warbler I ringed at Clopton, Cambs on 11 Aug 24 - retrapped 11 days later in France. Amazingly whilst I was at another site near Nantes (only a few km away) catching passage Sedge Warblers in a reedbed on the same day - so close!

Update by Dan Gornall on our Yellow-browed warbler project "1) Mainland Shetland > Carmel Head, Anglesey
2) Lundy > Lower Moors, Scilly. Especially interesting southerly re-orientation from Shetland. Many thanks to the ringers & birders who reported these".

Nearly end game at Clopton (South Cambs), so close to 2000 birds caught and ringed since mid-July. 2024 being the first experimental autumn here, on what is a small patch of scrub on an 80m SW-leading escarpment in otherwise arable desert. Its a lovely site and seeing 52 dawns has been ace.
