Misha Markovets made contact today having returned to St Petersburg from the Kaliningrad Region. During October at the ringing station at Fringilla (rybachy type traps) they caught & ringed 15,000 birds which included the irruption of Nutcrackers (siberian race). What was outstanding besides the numbers is that only Misha and Anatol Shapoval were ringing. There were no English ringers visiting this year. Please check out assorted photographs for interesting photo of the Nutcrakers.

Belvide Ringing Report

The 2008 report is now available in the Belvide section of the site--happy reading

EILEAN NAN RON

Just a reminder to anyone visiting Eilean nan Ron this summer for the Storm Petrels that you should have written permission from the Sutherland Estates in Golspie to actually stay on the island. The Northern Constabulary have only been out to the island once to check in the last 18 years but they will curtail any activities if permission has not been granted.

RINGING TRIPS

Another successful trip to Portugal!!

A merry group of 5 ringers and 4 non-ringers spent the week 14-21st October in Vilamoura, Portugal on the second annual trip to the site. A full report will be posted in the 'Reports' section of this website--but for now we would like to let folk know that we again did very well. We catch and ring about 10% of the ringed birds in Portugal for a year!! This year we were able to look at year on year comparisons, based on over 1300 birds we caught this year. Most numerous were Chiffchaff and Blackcaps--one of the latter bearing a British ring. Who knows if some of the birds we handled had been bred on or near our ringing sites in the midlands!?

Look at the report in the 'report' section of this site. we hope to have some photos soon.
