This Sanderling was on the causeway this morning. The unique combination of colour rings has enabled the bird to be traced back to its original ringing date when it was ringed as a nesting female at Zackenberg in northern Greenland on 8th July 2011 as part of a scientific study. It has not been sighted away from the breeding grounds.
