Re Stuart's last long commentary about zero probability of banding
recovery. There are a number of cases of repeat vagrants, which suggest
strongly that the same bird has succeeded in navigating somewhere and
back again. The Eurasian Skylark at Pt. Reyes and the Rustic Bunting at
the Kent Ponds (two years out of three). If they had been banded we
could say for sure that it was the same individual.
