 December in Gloucestershire a year and a half after ringing ; 

 in March in Radnorshire three years after ringing, early in the 

 fourth year in Cheshire and in October in Cheshire five and a 

 half years after ringing. These records show only more or less 

 local movement. The recoveries in May and March may 

 indicate breeding, but there is no certain evidence of this.
