Some interesting recoveries there, including the mid-winter, northwards movement of the adult male Blackbird LB12685 to Norway only for it to be killed by a cat there. Looking at its biometrics, it had a wing length of 140mm suggesting it was of Scandinavian origin but it seems very early in the year for it to have been returning North.
