Tis TM 8 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Wow, it has taken me 8 days to be able to get a picture of my buddy It's back on form, and doesn't sit still for 2 seconds. I got a bit worried as I didn't see the pair for 6 days, but this morning they were back I'm chuffed to nuts Here's a copy of the email sent by the BTO a couple of days ago: Dear Toni Thanks for your email and apologies for the delay in replying. We've had a build of reports over the easter weekend which we are currently clearing. Long tailed tit 9M3990 was ringed on 18/03/2007 as an adult at SX0049 near St Austell in Cornwall. We can now process your report and will send you a letter with all these details. Could you please first let us know the following: Ring Number - 9M3990 Kind of Bird - Long tailed Tit Date Found - Place Found - Finding details - Finders name and full postal address - Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to report this. You will hear from us once this recovery has been processed with the details on your bird in approximately 6-8 weeks. For more information on the Ringing Scheme, please see our leaflet: http://www.bto.org/ringing/resources/displays/bird-ringing09.pdf Yours sincerely, Miranda Shephard Recoveries Officer I had also sent some of the pictures to them too... I guess its normally dead bird ring numbers they get notified of, hence it being called "recoveries" ... Not for my little Tit though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Geoff.C 0 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Glad to see it turned out ok in the end. That eye looks just fine. Hope you get to see some young LTT's later on. I wish we had some around a bit more, if you just happen to be looking from the kitchen, you sometimes see 3 or 4 hit the feeders then gone again in a few seconds.
