Tracker Duck

If you remember back to Sunday 2nd Oct. when Ed O'Hara sent in photographs of a female Pochard with a band on it's upper bill. Fascinated to know of its origin we did a little detective work, we can inform everyone that the bird was ringed on 20/5/09 at a location called Saint-Philbert-De Grand-lieu,which is 4oo km SE of Paris. The bird was aged as a 2 year old, our French counterparts are keen to keep tabs on their female Pochard so if anyone is birding around the Oxford Island area and come across this bird let the blog know and we can pass on the information.
