What a cracking shot smashing detail and colour

I wonder how someone managed to catch it let alone ring it?

I think David, that nests are logged and any chicks are ringed by volunteer groups in WWT and National Trust sites (and ASSI sites); which just about covers the Gower Peninsular and Loughor Estuary - found this one at WWT Penclawydd which is a vast wetlands area.

Just posted another image I took some time ago out in the same area but this one is not ringed I checked a few more different images at different locations in that area and none of them are ringed

As I said below they must ring them if they find a nest of newish hatchlings otherwise it seems an impossible task
