The Ringing Scheme

Bird ringing in Britain and Ireland is organised and co-ordinated by the BTO. A network of over 2,000 highly trained and licensed volunteers currently ring over 850,000 birds every year. On average only one in every fifty birds ringed are subsequently found and reported, so every report of a ringed bird is of value.
