Please directely inform the ringer in case of a sighting or re-catch ( see https://bergenhusen.nabu.de/imperia/md/nabu/images/nabu/einrichtungen/be... ). In case of a re-catch elsewhere, please take the logger off the bird from January 2020 onwards by cutting the silicon tube close to the logger. Please remove the solicon tube from the bird (one loop around each leg).
