Presumably they finished their winter moult there and then moved on to their preferred wintering area. The multiple recovery of the former illustrates the migration path followed by the species. An indication of the origins of our wintering birds is shown by the two belated Russian controls, although their journey is likely to have already started when first trapped. In addition, there were two birds bearing Polish rings, one Finnish and one German. Suffolk-ringed birds were controlled on autumn passage in Germany, Sweden (two) and Poland (two).

DS37646 is the second Fagburyringed bird to be recovered in Scotland, perhaps indicating that the destinations of all three birds were the same. However, the journey of DS37646 was dramatically cut short when it fell victim to a Sparrowhawk. +
