Here’s a map showing all the Saltmarsh Sparrow nests counted between 2012 and 2015, right in this one spot, by a biologist working with this population. The last time I checked on it in the summer of 2016, the marsh still looked like the picture below, taken in March 2016, only greener. Not anymore.

I discovered that it had been ringed on 26 September 2016 at Iken, on the River Alde on the Suffolk coast, so almost exactly four years before my sighting. The first sighting of it after being rung was close to the town of Utena in north-east Lithuania on 11 July 2015. The information I received didn’t indicate the age of the bird.

Thank all that is good and holy in the world that the abomination that was 2016 is finally in the books. Here’s hoping that 2017 is a much better year than 2016! All of 2016 only netted me one new species for Queens, a Greater White-fronted Goose. I failed to do so in 2016 and that really sucks. Will I achieve them?
