Lat Saturday evening Owen Leyshon called me to say that there was a colour ringed Little Tern in front of Firth Hide, by luck I was driving down the entrance track to the VC, within minutes I joined Owen and was attempting to read the ring. We originally read it as Y18 but after an email exchange with Ulf in Denmark we realised it was actually Y1B. Remarkably this is only the 5th foreign ringed Little Tern of any ringing scheme to have been reported in the UK.
