Well done to Bena and Katherine at WWF Mai Po For finding and catching the bird, and to Amanda and Alex at KFBG for successfully returning it to full health.
It was great to see this bird return to the spoonbill flock, where it seemed very relaxed and even joined in some mutual preening with the other birds.
In addition to the numbered ring (A39) on the right leg, this bird has three coloured rings (white-red-green) on the left leg. Hopefully there will be resightings of the bird in future which will allow us to follow it's progress. Please remember to report any colour-ringed spoonbills seen.
