Ringed as pullus in July 2002 at Maasvlakte, the Netherlands. Season 2002 several birds were ringed with single letter codes, the other leg should have another ring with letter E for Europoort; either white E (for Maasvlakte) or yellow E (for Dintelhaven). That E ring was lost over the years. In this bird, white E was lost.
