At 15:30 on 3rd December 2014 a Starling was
caught and ringed on Bardsey. At 19:00 that evening and 37km away in a roost of
over 100,000 Starlings at Afonwen farm near Criccieth the same Starling was
caught again by Phil Belman. Phil has been ringing Starlings at this roost site
for a number of years and has generated number of interesting records of
eastern European birds.
The previous August Dave Hill ringed a Swallow at 12:40 on
the 8th at Rhiw on the tip of the peninsula, which was later caught
that evening coming in to a roost on Bardsey.
The Swallow was not quite as quick as the Starling. Any other ringers out there with "Speedy" controls?
