Malcolm kindly sent through some information on a dead Razorbill found down on the beach, directly below Malcom's house by John Gamble...
This bird was ringed by the Scan Ringing Group at age at least 2 years, sex unknown, on05-Jun-2010 at Puffin Island, Isle of Anglesey, UK, OS Map reference SH6582.
It was found on 24-Sep-2020 at Bruichladdich, Islay, Argyll and Bute, UK, OS Map reference NR2763
Finding condition: Freshly dead Finding circumstances: Bird found dead ,Extra Information: On beach
It was found 3764 days after it was ringed, 313 km from the ringing site, direction NNW.
So, just over 10 years old.
Peter yesterday morning had seen
2 pairs of Black Guillemots back close in at Bruichladdich Pier this morning - all of course in winter plumage, but the first I've noticed here for a while.
This afternoon we had Wheatear fly across the road in front of us and then just shortly afterwards a brightly coloured Stonechat was seen
