Joe, thanks for the clarification on the species with the colour rings - yes, they are Knot, I didn’t look at them closely enough! It looks if if there is a combination of flag and ring on the bird in photo 14 but I agree there may not be enough to go on. So, everyone, keep looking for the colour-dyed Dunlins - much easier than looking at rings!

Nice work Jim. As Rob says, Emily Scragg is the person to send the colour-dyed Dunlin records to, you can read more about the study and the information details they would like here: http://monitoring.wwt.org.uk/2016/01/get-involved/unravelling-waterbird-movements-on-the-severn-estuary/

Both of the colour-ringed birds are Knot, with only one leg visible it might be difficult to find the relevant study.

James, please send your colour-dyed Dunlin photos to the BTO at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

For the colour-ringed Dunlins, try looking here.
