Robins on the move

If your winter Robin has disappeared and you wonder where it might be, this recovery might provide a clue. Ringed in it's year of hatching at Grimstadvatnet on the west coast of Norway on 29th August 2009, this unfortunate individual was killed by a cat in Llanelli this week. It's probable that the bird returned to Scandinavia during the summers of 2010 and 2011, so must have notched up a few miles.

Many thanks to Melinda Williams and Wendell Thomas for passing the ring on to me.
