On a winter trip to Reykjavik I spotted a British-ringed Whooper Swan on an urban lake in Hafnarfjordur. It was ringed by Clyde Ringing Group as age 1st year , sex unknown on 23-Nov-2000 at Hogganfield Loch, Glasgow OS Map reference NS6467, co-ordinates 55deg 52min N 4deg 10min W. | ||
| I saw it on 20-Feb-2014 at Hamarkotslaekur, Hafnarfjordur, 4837 days after it was ringed, 1340 km from the ringing site. Interesting that it didn't migrate back to Scotland this winter. Maybe it was mild, or maybe it knew it was raining in the UK! | ||
