A recently ringed ‘vittata’ Pied Wheatear by Abdulla - a rare ssp for Bahrain
Hi,
You might be interested to learn the details of ringing of the White Stork found dead at the Bahrain Refinery in September 1942!
I doubt if this bird was reported at the time of recovery (i.e. during WW2) and as far as I know it was not reported at the time the Bahrain Nat Hist Soc Newsletter published it's 'From the archives' in June 1997, see attached.
It took two unsuccessful attempts to get the details from the Lithuanian ringing scheme and in the end I ask EURING for help on this. Better late than never.

To Lithuanian Ringing Scheme
Dear Sir,
I understand a White-Stork Ciconia ciconia was found dead at the oil refinery on the island of Bahrain, on 4 September 1942. It held a ring marked "Univesite Kaunas Lithuanie B 3973". (There is a little confusion about the species which may have been a Grey Heron Ardea cineria).
As part of my atlas project of Arabian birds I hold a small database of ringing and marked birds within Arabia. I would greatly appreciate it if you could advise me of the details of ringing of the above bird.
If you have any other birds that have been recovered in Arabia (that is the states of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and United Arab Emirates) I would be very pleased to have the details. In turn if you need any information about Arabia I shall be pleased to send it.
Yours

Abdulla managed to trap and ring a really scarce form of Blackeared Wheater the Dark throated melanoleuca a beautiful bird one I have yet to see myself here except at a distance
