In July 2008 a juvenile Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus) was found in the South Oropouche Lagoon. The bird bore a leg ring with the alphanumeric code “6PW” and it was assumed that the bird was either South or North American in origin. However, with the aid of Mark Grantham and a bird ringing group based in Spain, it has been discovered that the ibis was actually ringed in close proximity to Donana National Park, Spain (approximately 6,000 km away) in June 2006.
