Lesser Redpoll recovery
We've just had news that one of our Redpoll, D439468, which we ringed on 04 Nov 2014, has been recaught in the Forest of Dean (Crabtree Hill) on 10 Oct 2015. Rob Husbands catches several hundred Redpoll in the woods near Speech House, as they (presumably) pass through, and we have had a previous "exchange" - Y680153 was ringed by Rob on 02 Mar 2012, and caught by us on 29 Oct 2012. We have also had a third Redpoll to Glos, D438500 was ringed by us on 15 Nov 2013, and recaught at Pope's Hill on 21 Feb 2014.
