COLOUR-RINGED CHOUGH

Tony Cross sent the following having seen the photo which I posted yesterday:

Although I can only see the one leg there aren't that many likely candidates so I reckon this bird is Black XO/BTO right leg;Blue/Green left.  If so it was ringed as one of a brood of two in one of our boxes near Aberystwyth on 16th May 2010. 
It is a male and has previously been as far north as Cadair.
