Some kingfisher pics for you - its an adult female and it already had a ring on it when I caught it near the Wharfe at Otley - will be interesting to see where its come from.

Wonderful stuff Andy, will post this weekend. Would be very interested in due course to learn how far it has moved. Assume controlled today (Friday)?
Dave.

Dave
Yes it was friday - its none of the east dales ringing group rings and none of the other "local" ringer" so its moved from somewhere interesting.
cheers
Andy
