some details on projects operated by the Norwegian scheme whence the Alkborough Curlew Sandpiper came -- a lot to look out for -- should be interesting trying to read the 3 characters on a Grasshopper Warbler ring in the field!

We are ringing waders and in western Norway (Sunnmøre Ringing Group) and at Svalbard (Longyearbyen Feltbiologiske Forening / Norsk Polarinstitutt) . I will mention the projects here:

Sunnmøre, western Norway:
Sunnmøre Ringing Group has some cr-projects in western Norway. We hope, of course, that you will look for flagged Common Ringed Plover (Charadrius hiaticula) , Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleuca) , Grey Plover (Pluvialis squatarola) and Curlew Sandpiper (Calidris ferruginea) in the future ! All these species have red colour ring on left tibia and yellow flag on right tibia engraved with 3 black letters.

Last season (2012) we also started cr-marking Little Stint (Calidris minuta) . (Metal ring left tarsus. Red cr-ring above the metal ring. Right tarsus yellow ring engraved with 3 black letters).

We also flag Common Redshank (Tringa totanus) with yellow colour ring and orange flag engraved with 3 black letters.

We colour ring Curlew (Numenius arquata) : orange plain ring on left tibia and orange ring engraved with 3 black letters on right tibia.

And Rock Pipit (Anthus petrosus), Pied Wagtail (Motacilla alba) Waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus) and Grashopper Warbler (Locustella naevia) with yellow ring engraved with 3 black letters on right tarsus.

Svalbard (Arctis Ocean):
At Svalbard (Artic Ocean) we flag Purple Sandpiper (Calidris maritima) :
a) Longyearbyen: orange colour ring and light green (lime) flag with 3 black letters .
b) Longyearbyen: orange colour ring and (dark) green flag with 3 white letters.
c) Sørkappøya (South Cape Island) : yellow colour ring and orange flag, 3 black letters .

We also have started to flag Dunlin (Calidris alpina) at Svalbard: orange marker ring on left tibia, and orange flag engraved with 3 black letters on right tibia.

Summer 2012 we also started flagging Common Ringed Plover at Svalbard: Yellow marker ring at left tibia, and orange flag engraved with 3 black letters on right tibia.

If you are interested to see photos etc from Longyearbyen, Svalbard www.LoFF.biz. It is members of LoFF (Longyearbyen Feltbiologiske Forening) who are ringing/flagging Purples and other waders at Svalbard. More about our projects you also find in www.svalbardbirds.com/Sorkappoya-filer/sorkappoya.htm

Our ringing group has a webside, www.fugler.com . Unfortunately written only in Norwegian.

The Italian web-side www.crb-photoguide.com show more than 2000 photos of colour marked birds in Europe, also from our projects.


Yours sincerely,
