Two old favourites!!

Just a quick post script to the last message. In addition to the 41 new birds we ringed last evening--we had 8 already ringed birds ( we call them re-traps) all of which were carrying rings we recognised from previous years. It's always great to see these birds--especially bearing in mind that some of them have travelled to southern Africa and back to be with us again!!
However, two of these birds-both Reed Warblers, were extra special and fulfil the 'Old Favourite' category. They have both made that incredible journey at least SIX times. Even if we assume ( incorrectly) that they flew in a straight line during each flight, these tiny 13 gram birds have clocked up about 100,000 miles during their migrations alone--not counting feeding/breeding and all the other daily flights these birds make--INCREDIBLE !!
