The exchange of emails led to Lisa sending a picture of a colour ringed Blue Crane taken at Nieuwoudtville in Namaqualand, RSA in September 2008. I sent this photograph to SAFRING and the feedback received was that this bird had been ringed by Kevin McCann at Basberg, Hanover on 22/01/1998 more that 10 years before Lisa resighted it 475 km from the ringing site. Perusal of the SAFRING data base shows that Kevin McCann is a member of the Crane Working Group in South Africa and that he ringed 91 cranes - 43 Wattled Cranes, 23 Grey Crowned-Cranes and 25 Blue Cranes, one of which Lisa photographed. As the Namibia Bird Club is a co-sponsor of the "Take a Closer Look" poster which was printed to raise awareness of ringed birds we are only too willing to forward any ringed bird sightings to SAFRING, and in the case of ringed birds seen in Namibia, to MET as well, and to pass any feedback information received on to the observers.
