This autumn I got my first control recapture with a foreign ring! It was a second-year male Blackcap(Sylvia atricapilla).
The bird was ringed on 17.04.2023 at Stirniai, Trakų r., Lithuania, and recaptured by me on 23.09.2023. It had covered a distance of 1240km with the main direction of migration - 189° [S]
It's very hard for me to describe the pure joy and excitement that I've experienced!
The bird was released in good condition and hopefully, it managed to reach its wintering location.
