A kingfisher trapped and released at Orford Ness on the Suffolk coast was originally ringed in Poland some 620 miles away. The previous longest recorded distance was 603 miles. We'll know a more accurate distance when we discover where in Poland the bird was ringed.
The National Trust said cold weather could have led to the bird migrating from Eastern Europe.
Just seen this... what an amazing distance.. had no idea Kingfishers travelled..
