Kees Camphuysen has quickly responded to say this LB-back was ringed as an adult male on 28 May 2006 at breeding colony in Texel, on the Dutch coast, 435.1 kms distant. The lack of a metal ring is intentional on birds ringed at this particular colony and the M on the colour ring denotes male. Since ringing, it has been seen 70 times at the colony and bred there just twice.
