notes:

Black flag with a white two alpha code (on left tibia) an metal ring (on right tibia) and dark-green ring (on right tarsus).

note 1 : the aim of the project is :
* to generate some information on wintering sites and distribution of wintering Turnstone in the northwest of England or further afield.
* to attempt to find out what the turnover of the birds wintering at this site is. Where are they coming from to roost/forage at the site ?
* to measure winter site fidelity and implications of disturbance if they show high winter site fidelity.
* to generate re-sightings to look at migration routes.
* to try and ascertain whether there are any relationships between wintering areas and breeding areas.
* to possibly measure phenology if we can catch them over a number of years.
