Title: Bird ring Post by: DEADLOCK on January 17, 2018, 07:53:55 PM Hi all,
Firstly let me wish you all a happy new year and a prosperous year. I managed to get out on Monday and found this bird, now this ring was only 1/4" deep but was well chuffed with it which got me wondering what bird it was off. Quick word with my mate Ian and gathered all the he numbers off ring and emailed the BTO ringing group. And had this Email back off them wow how informative. Thanks for looking and keep swinging.

What a shame they didn’t tell you what species of bird it was. Title: Re: Bird ring Post by: DEADLOCK on January 17, 2018, 10:05:00 PM The letter tells you what bird it was great tit

I didn’t know they ring them. (Was going to say something else but didn’t want it to be misconstrued ) ;) Title: Re: Bird ring Post by: DEADLOCK on January 17, 2018, 10:23:08 PM Top line maybe you can't zoom in enough

That would indicate it died of natural cause. They don’t have a very long life span.
