Colour-ringed Brent details

The colour-ringed pale-bellied Brent Goose that was present in Angle Bay on 11th and 12th April this year was a female ringed at Bakki, Grunnafjorour in western Iceland on 18th May 2009.  It has spent the last three winters on the Tamar in Cornwall, and was presumably on return passage to Canada (via Iceland) when recorded in Angle Bay.

The  bird was ringed by the Irish Brent Goose Research Group, who are keen to hear of any other colour-ringed Brents wintering in, or migrating through, Pembs.
