I haven't got official feedback from BTO or the ringing group for this bird but
have some information from Birdforum. It would seem I got the ring combination
wrong and mistook a metal ring as a white plastic ring, meaning the bird I saw
had the ring combination orange-red-metal ring and green-green-white. This bird
was ringed in France and was seen several times in the midlands last spring, a
photo of it here from last year
