Last week when I was up with the Eastern Black Redstart I photographed a rock pipit with a coloured ring on one leg and a metal ring on the other:

If you notice any errors in the information, please inform us about your corrections.
This information will be sent to Ringing Centre, Stavanger Museum, Norway and Ringing Centre, London, UK.
The returns from metal rings are so low I wonder why anyone bothers with these anymore - colour rings seem to generate a lot more info.
