Kevin,
Thanks for this. I did find this combination on the CR birding
web site but could not make head nor tail of the e-mail address!!
I will pursue my enquiries as they say.

Hi Paul,
A coloured ringed Little Egret of the same scheme was seen recently in
Buckinghamshire. This is the reply when asked for "any more info"
"Good to see a colour ringed LITEG has been seen in your area. The colour
ringing of LITEGs is administered by Richard Hearn of the Wildfowl and Wetlands
Trust.
Email: littleegrets@...
The bird seen with the Orange ring on the left tibia shows it was a bird ringed
in SE England and Channel Islands region. There are other colours for other UK
and Ireland regions e.g SW England and S Wales is Green. The ring on the right
tibia is the colour combination that is being used at the time with the
'regional colour'.
However, to identfy the individual bird, engraved letters or numbers on each of
the rings have to also be recorded. So all rings have these vertical
characters, repeated three times around the ring. "
Regards
Kevin
