SCAN

The SCAN ringing group had a very successful day on Traeth Lavan, Saturday, with a catch of 379 Oystercatchers. The oldest Oystercatcher was originally ringed in September 1981 by the group and has not been recorded since. In fact this bird was older than many of the ringing team.

SCAN have been monitoring Oystercatchers on Traeth Lavan since 1973, and have recently begun colour ringing a sample of the wintering population to ascertain their breeding locations. Initial reports show that some of the birds breed on the Shetland isles.

Several captions come to mind, best one gets a free cup of tea and a biscuit at the BTO Cymru office.

If you are interested in the helping out with SCAN please contact the BTO Cymru office.

    'Lie Back and Think of England' (coincidently the name of a 1983 album by British folk music outfit Oysterband)
