100,000 RESIGHTINGS!!



With all of the resightings from the Irish winter now entered into the database by Graham there are now 102,277 records of our colour-ringed birds up until the end of this winter - an incredible effort for such a young project. This year alone observers have resighted 1867 different geese a total of 13,065 times as far a field as Ireland, Iceland, Scotland, Wales, England, France, the Netherlands and Canada! With all the records still to arrive from Iceland this spring, there'll be plenty more records to come as well....
