We received a recovery note from the BTO on Thursday.
An adult Swallow ringed at Stanford Reservoir, Northants
in May 2012 was ''freshly dead and intentionally taken'' in September 2014, so
we are assuming that it was a light snack for a hungry hunter!
This is our furthest recovery of any species in the 40
year history of the ringing group, travelling a distance of 7129km to the far
reaches of Congo in Africa and beats our previous record of a Blackcap that made it's way 2327km to Morocco.
