| Bird | Location | Date | Name | Ring / Tag description | Comment |
| Reed Warbler | Llangorse Lake | 10 July 2010 | Kelvin Skyrme | Two reed warblers feeding at south end of lake, one with blue ring, one with silver ring, Too distant to discern any numbers or letters | Photo of silver ringed individual available. (Thanks for the report Kelvin. I noted a red colour-ringed Reed Warbler by the hide at Llangasty on Saturday too. This is all the handiwork of Llangorse Ringing Group who are undertaking a study there. Use of colour-rings increases the chances of getting future sightings anywhere between here and Africa where they winter) |
