So how come it looks like he doesn't have a name.....and just what DOES that mean (Yes I can be a bit slow sometimes)
Lots of places don't name their birds ...
Isn't it because there is no positive identification from a leg band?
Once the leg band is read, a name might be discovered or invented.
Yes! We have the band colour and one of the digits but the other one is giving us trouble. We have some photos, but the top digit is frequently hidden under his leg feathers so we haven't been able to confirm it yet. And yes, if he does have a name, we may well change it or hypenate it as they do out east.
