Surely "80" is now 4 years old, Alan. I'm fairly certain he was a Glaslyn 2006 chick.
Sandy : You are correct he is 4 years old now. I took the newspaper quote at face value:
“He’s three years old,” said the council’s countryside ranger, Keith Kirk. “
All 3 now fledged at Kielder Water:

Yes Black 80 is a 2006 chick. In fact I think it is really black O8 but has been read the wrong way round for so long wrong has become right.
