Received a batch of 'recoveries' from the BTO recently, including a couple of very nice blackcap movements. One was to Norfolk, where one of our blackcaps was caught at the legendary Holme Bird Observatory. The other was to SW France, near the Spanish border. To date, we have ringed approx 10,500 blackcaps, of which 48 (or 0.45%) have been reported as caught or found elsewhere (see the map below). Twelve have been recovered abroad: in France (2), Portugal (1), Spain (5), Gibraltar (1) and Morocco (3). The longest distance covered so far by a one of our blackcaps is 2,383 km to Taroudannt in southern Morocco, in 2005.
