This footage is going back a few years. By fitting a uniquely numbered light-weight ring to the birds leg we can identify the bird as an individual. This is important for reseach purposes. We can find out how long they live for, where they move to, how well their species is doing, population dynamics etc. For more info. visit www.bto.org.uk or the RSPB website.

  • I'm currently training this and am slowly learning the different sexing methods etc. It will be a quite while before I reach C permit.

    I do worry seeing children handle the birds, especially with those pliers. :S

  • Very good enjoyed that.
