The Ivel Ringing Group was formed in 1990 and currently consists of half a dozen ringers and as many trainees/helpers. We operate at sites across Bedfordshire, some associated with the river Great Ouse, but concentrating on the CES sites as well as catching Mute Swans.

British Trust for Ornithology
Bird ringing in Britain and Ireland is organised and co-ordinated by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO).
A network of over 2,500 highly trained and licensed volunteers currently ring over 850,000 birds every year. On average only one in every one hundred birds ringed is subsequently recaught elsewhere or found by a member of the public and reported.
Every report of a ringed bird is therefore of extreme value. To report a dead or colour-ringed bird, go to http://www.ring.ac .
For more information about ringing in the UK and Eire, please go to http://www.bto.org/ . A ringing scheme operates in every European country and most countries of the world.
