First Ringing Recovery

During the winter we received news of our first ringing recovery. It was a Pied Flycatcher, it was ringed 24 April 2018 and found dead near Zurich in Switzerland 125 days later on 28 August after flying into a window. 
This location is 1677km northwest of Cape Tenaro.
Given the date of recovery the bird was probably on its autumn migration when it died.
We even have a picture of the unfortunate bird:
