This colour-ringed Corn Bunting is one of 12 recently ringed by the Highland Ringing Group at Balranald in North Uist. The RSPB are hoping to track their movements to see just how far these birds are travelling between their winter feeding areas and their summer breeding grounds. If you manage to see any colour-ringed Corn Buntings please could you email Jamie Boyle at:Jamie.Boyle@rspb.org.uk or email me at: steveduffield@hebrides.net Thanks very much.
