Birdies LG DU update.
Dang. I was hoping that "5R" might look like 25 with my out-of-date glasses on :'(
IMAGICAT
She is a Rutland born bird who bred at Site C last year.
That seems to have caused a melt-down of the stream :-(
Thanks, Mike. :-)

If you go to this link and check out Sue C's ringing data (Scroll through the index) you'll find all the details there.
This Rutland archive thread may also help.
Crikey, I step away from the cam for a few minutes!
EDITED: I was getting my cams mixed up - I thought I was looking at the Dyfi thread so have deleted ridiculous comment!

Thank you, Mike :-) So Mrs5R isn't the only Rutland bird with a missing hubby ;-) At least 25 shouldn't be too much of a pest if she has her own nest.
Blue 25 arrived back on 19 March, so she's been hanging there around a while and must have got bored!
I think we were surprised when two three year olds bonded, mated and went on to successfully raise 3 chicks (3K, 4K, 5K) together last season. Start of a new Rutland dynasty...
EDITED to remove erroneous comment - was a bit confused earlier!!!
So, if the Rutland blog yesterday is right and there are 3 of last years breeding pairs now returned, can we deduce that 03(09) might have returned, as 11(10) clearly hasn't!

Hardly surprising! Thank you for all that info :-*
