Sandy Smith Nature Reserve

Recent ringing activities (last couple of months) on this site have produced large numbers of Common Whitethroats, a few Sedge Warblers and a Grasshopper Warbler!So why not come to Sandy Smith Nature Reserve near Beadlow to get the chance see birds up close and learn about ringing from members of the Ivel Ringing Group.

The cost is £1.00 per person. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please contact Liz Millbank, Greensand Trust, for further information on 01234 743666.

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.
