Both the returned birds are colour ringed. As mentioned in the previous post, the female is the familiar red 6A who we have seen on the nest for a number of years. The male is new but is also wearing a colour ring. It looks like green OX but might be green DX. It looks as if this might be a bird that was ringed locally in 2005 but we need to confirm the ring details first!
The male has been busy providing fish for red 6A and no other birds have been seen competing for the nest as yet!
