Northants Ringing Group

The Northants Ringing Group operates at several sites in Northamptonshire, using mist nets and various other trapping methods in a variety of habitats from woodland to reedbeds, farm buildings to water treatment works. Under licence from the British Trust for Ornithology (including Schedule 1 Licences where appropriate) we ring all year round – when the weather permits – to study bird migration, how long birds live, how many young different species produce each year.

Ringing this autumn at Brixworth Water Recycling Centre

Hello

Our regular venue at Brixworth, with kind permission of Anglian Water, has provided us with opportunities for ringing again this autumn with passage warblers providing most of the action. However we do sometimes catch wagtails and pipits and other birds, as depicted...

Potential attendees are required to wear Personal Protective Equipment - High Vis sleeved top, High Vis trousers, a hard hat or 'bump' cap, steel toe-capped footwear and to be in possession of gloves, ear defenders and eye protection.

Should you wish to be involved and/or come along to watch the action and prepared to obtain and wear the PPE and comply with the on-site Risk Assessment, please email me -
