Also from Ferrybridge, news of interesting colour-flag sighting: yesterday Charlie Richards spotted a Knot there bearing a green leg-flag coded CPH; it transpires that this bird's a juvenile that was first trapped/marked at Heacham, Norfolk, on 7th November and was still present at the same site on 21st November.
