Welcome to the Northants Bird Ringing Group

Thursday, 28 March 2024

 Welcome to our blog

It's aim is to highlight the activities of the group ringing over a wide variety of sites. Reports of ringing sessions will appear here on a regular basis and contributors will post items of interest about the ringing process.

Our stats guru Nick has compiled a detail list for the ringing totals each year going back to 2002, but his coolest item on the Blog is the interactive maps under Recovery and Controls. View these maps to see the full picture of the range of birds travelling to and from Northants.  The furthest recovery is a Redwing recovered at Beirut Airport, with a Mallard north of Moscow not far behind.

A fascinating piece of work begins today as I begin loading years of historical data into the group Recoveries and Controls maps.
