CR Little Egret 7th July

The bird I saw at Browhouses is the same bird from 18th September 2025. Barry the ringing project organiser said back then; "BTO Ring No.GY74260. In colour-ringing speak it is LAYN(4);RARW(H). For future reference this states the ring positions and colours of rings and digits as: Left leg Above the ‘knee’ with a Yellow ring with a black (Niger) digit of 4. Right leg Above the ‘knee’ with a Red ring with White digit of H. I hope that makes sense. The position of the BTO Metal ring on the tarsus is immaterial under this scheme. This egret was ringed in the nest as one of a brood of five at Birks Wood, Rockliffe Estate, near Carlisle, by Thalia Sparke and her ringing team on 14 June 2024."
