We received some additional information on the colour-ringed Sanderling that Ian observed a few days ago at the obs; it was actually ringed in County Clare, Ireland on 21st February 2011, where it was presumably wintering and then colour rings were added by Jeroen Reneerkens in northeast Greenland in June 2011.
Ian observed another colour ringed Sanderling yesterday at the obs and this was ringed by Jeroen at Sandgerði, Iceland on 30th May 2011, and this was the first sighting of this bird since being colour marked. See Google Earth image below.
