The ringers have recently been concentrating their efforts on other parts of the Heart of England Forest, but they have let me know of another control of a Lesser Redpoll which had been ringed elsewhere.
This one was caught at Netherstead on 11 October 2020, and was found to have been ringed by the Merseyside Ringing Group on 22 September 2020 at an SSSI in the Conwy Valley called Morfa Uchaf. The site appears to be near Tal-Y-Bont.
Although this may imply that the bird was from North Wales, it was likely to have been on migration in late September. This record gives an insight into its direction of travel, which was south-eastwards.
