First records of migratory colour-banded dunlins

After arriving from holidays, we had exciting news waiting for us at the office. Two of our colour-marked dunlins were resighted during their migratory journeys.
RW-GfR, an adult female caught last February at Samouco saltpans, was spotted by Thorstein Holtskog near Klepp, Norway, in May.
YY-GfB, also an adult bird trapped at Samouco saltpans, in early April, was resighted by Jurgen and Irene Linnhoff around Jadebusen, Germany, during August.
We want to acknowledge these birdwatchers and.... ask everyone to keep your eyes wide open!!!
