Hello
For those of you who noticed a female tufted duck on site a few months ago, with an green/blue bit of plastic over its beak with some lettering on. This turned out to be a nasal saddle, a version of ringing, that makes it much easier to identify a bird, when the more usual leg ring is underwater most of the time. Below we have the report of when and where the nasal saddle was attached. So this Tufted duck has visited us all the way from France!
Thanks to members of the Rye Meads Ringing Group for researching it
