Just had the above Common Tern back via the BTO.It was ringed at Roxton on 3rd June 2003 as a pullus and found at Eemshavn, which is the port serving Groningen via the Eemskanal. The bird was found freshly dead on 7th September, how or why is not known, nor exactly where. It is a busy area with petro-chemical storage facilities.
Distance 500 km ENE (official) - 6years 3 months & 4 days.
