Ringed birds

Please report bird's rings!
Metal rings are the classical technique of bird migration research. Upon recovery the individual ring number refers to place and time of the initial ringing of a (usually dead found) bird. Colour rings can be identified in the field and deliver "vita informations" if a bird is observed repeatedly. National bird ringing centers like Vogelwarte Helgoland collect these data.
„True“ ornithologists collect all recovered rings on the neck strap of their binoculars ... (-:
Pidgeon rings (seamless plastic rings) are not relevant for science and should not be reported.
