I once had a bird reported by a ex fancier who caught the bird in Castleford Town centre. I'd lost this bird off the loft top as a squeaker 8 years before. I collected the bird and found it was still wearing its name & address ring although all the print had worn off. The bird was in decent condition.
I had another bird return after 5 years which I lost at 500 miles. This bird was my 4th bird in the clock at 500 miles the year after.
