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.
