| Blue origin, red recovery. (eyemouth was too close to home to show) |
Bird ringing might provide us with some interesting information on bird travel but how about mapping fish-box movements...??
Found some today... closest to home was Eyemouth, next was Pool, then Shetland and finally Quimper (north west France). In actual fact they could have been lost pretty much anywhere out at sea
but it's just a bit of fun!

Anyone else got a good recovery let me know?
