| This is an interesting colour coded Knot. Seen here 29/11/24. It was ringed in the Netherlands 28/08/24 as part of a radio tracking scheme in the Wadden Sea If you open the shot, you can see the antennae wire behind its tail |
These are the comments from the Scheme Manager
I have looked at its departure from the Wadden Sea (see below). It left on 20 September towards 7 in the evening, not long after sunset, which is exactly what they normally do.
