Bird Ringing Demonstration
About this Event
Bird ringing is a harmless monitoring technique where a lightweight ring is placed around a bird’s leg, allowing researchers to identify individual birds and track information about their survival, migration, and productivity.
Specially trained ringers will introduce you to the equipment and methods used and demonstrate how different measurements are taken.
You’ll learn how ringing contributes to our understanding of changes in populations of birds, and of course see some beautiful birds up close!
