While the number of Storm Petrels ringed during August are beginning to fall away, we are still catching birds ringed elsewhere and our birds are still being found at other sites
A bird ringed recently on South Uist was caught and released on Eilean nan Ron, Highland plus a bird ringed at Fair Isle Bird Observatory in August 2019 was caught and released on South Uist on 24th August this year, a duration of 725 days and a distance of 422km.
We have now ringed 400+ Storm Petrels plus 6 controls (birds ringed elsewhere - in green) and 3 recoveries (our birds caught and released at other sites - in red).
