    Hi mate - had this bird off the golf centre the day after I got back from Iceland on 7th April and still around on Sunday just gone (plus another ringed bird from Iceland). All good stuff.

    This bird was still about today at Crossness today, roosting up this afternoon by the outfall - look at the images at http://rothandb.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/btgs-and-gwt-at-crossness-today.html to see how much it has moulted in the last 4 weeks!
