Bird Ringing

Lee Barber works for the BTO, coordinating structured ringing schemes including the Constant Effort Site Scheme (CES), Retrapping Adults for Survival (RAS) and the Winter Ringing Project. These schemes produce a wealth of information on how our British and Irish birds are fairing on an annual basis (see the BTO’s BirdFacts pages). Ringing is licensed and volunteers can train under the supervision of a ringing trainer, like Lee, to become a ringers themselves. The information generated from ringing is fascinating and shines a light on our best known species.

We will be meeting in person in Room G44, in the Edith Morley Building, but you can also join remotely via Zoom if you prefer.  Please click here to join the meeting. You can join from 7.15 pm and the meeting will start at 7.30 pm.  You will be muted when you join; please stay muted except when you have been asked to unmute, for recent sightings, questions, etc.

Non-members are welcome to attend this FREE event, which is suitable for anyone interested in wild birds or conservation - you don't have to be an expert.
