Glossy Ibis at Borth

Following an e-mail from a local resident I went to Borth with another RSPB member of staff at Ynys-hir (Ross Willis) and sure enough a glossy ibis was happily feeding in a small field with 3 horses. It was colour-ringed with 8J9 on white on the left leg and a metal ring on the right leg. I have gone onto the euring web-site and e-mailed what I think is the only project to undertake this type of ring combination (a spanish e-mail address). Hopefully I will get details of the ringing history which I will post on the blog when I receive it.
