Post subject: | Colour ringed Waders |
From Chris Routh of Humber Wading Ringing Group re colour-ringed waders! Humber Wader Ringing Group has been ringing waders on the Humber Estuary since 2003 to monitor movements and survival. As well as BTO metal rings we have been putting colour rings and coloured leg flags on Redshank Curlew Black-tailed Godwit Oystercatcher Knot These colour rings make the birds individually identifiable and the information on their location and date of sighting is vital to wader conservation around the North Sea and the East Atlantic Flyway. Other ringing schemes are ringing the same and other species. If you see any colour ringed birds please record: *species *location *date *time *ring/flag colour & position on left & right leg, above or below the knee You can report this vital information either directly to HWRG at www.hwrg.org.uk, the BTO via www.ring.ac. or David Turner at davidt2851@gmail.com To learn more about colour ringing visit www.hwrg.org.uk and www.waderstudygroup.org |
