Hi tmtovey – if it was a white ring with black code then the coot is likely to be have been one of ours (Cardiff Ringers) ringed in Cosmeston lakes in 2011. Out of nine birds colour-ringed there we have had three indidividuals resighted from far afield – Leicestershire, Greater Manchester and another near Exeter. Despite appearances – coots do indeed move about.
Hi Richard thanks for your reply it was indeed it was indeed a white ring with black letters heather Coates from our local ringing group phoned me to say it might be one of yours thanks again
