  • Hi, another request, anyone know LA4? (Blue ring left leg.)
    Seen today at Glaslyn.
    She landed on the nest and took a large Mullet off the resident female (Mrs G.)

    LA4 is not on the public lists but fits with others from 2015.

  • Hi Colin. It's being discussed on the Glaslyn thread, but no one knows any more than you do at this stage.
  • Hoping one of our Scottish friends knows her.

  • I seem to have missed the notice that female 5N has arrived at Rutland. Please can anyone help with a link to her arrival? Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards, Ann
