From the below video, the band is just too big and it affects the bird's daily movement. Is there anything we can do to help it? https://youtu.be/eIcHgGzNXXE
X2 was ringed on 14-Nov-20 so likely it is still not getting use to the flags.
While attempting to chase and actively capture it will pose extra stress to the individual, it would be better to let it getting use to the flags eventually.
Please kindly help to still keep an eye out on this bird.
