@GlosterBirder @slimbridge_wild Hi mike this is Elroy who was reringed this winter as he lost the original darvic white BSA he was all so fitted with a GPS collar in the 2018 winter that is also lost

Today, I read my 9,000th colour ring of a #Brent #geese #rotgans since 1989, according to the database https://t.co/hv2WLZW3CE! I'm wondering when I'll reach 10K for science...? N7 was the lucky bird, partner of P8 with two ringed cygnets we caught last week of Dec.23 @niooknaw

Retweet if you are AGAINST Fox-hunting!

This beauty was seen alongside a river near Cheddar in Somerset, UK.

Bird flu has ripped through Hungary’s important population of migratory Common Cranes this autumn, killing tens of thousands of birds: https://t.co/MzpbTqDNNY

4 of the 5 ad Bewick’s at Banks Marsh this am - first birds in the area this winter, and thought we might miss out so lovely to see and hear them today

8 Whooper Swans on Dowdeswell Reservoir!! Get in there. First found by @Gregmabbs driving past and shot up there! #Glosbirds.

[Bill Haines (West London Birding) @WLBirding]

The 50th #coot colour-ringed in @theroyalparks so far this season for #cootstudy. Will we make it to 💯 this winter? #ringing #londonbirds

[Kane Brides @KaneBrides]

From Russia with love!
Unusual to find a Black-headed gull carrying a ring with MOSKAWA on it! In fact, this is only the 70th Russian ringed Black-headed gull to be found in the UK! 🇷🇺 > 🇬🇧
Today in Lancashire 😊

[Bill Haines (West London Birding) @WLBirding]

In addition to the orange colour rings, which can sometimes be difficult to see on the birds, we are now using blue c/rings on Black-headed Gulls @theroyalparks. Hopefully these new rings will be more detectable and generate more sightings. #blackheadedgull #londonbirds

@EllaSlinn @slimbridge_wild Hi Ella thank you for these images, swan on the top facing you is named Derbent & other in the water with neck down is his mate Demidov

The great return has begun! Plenty of our tagged #Bewicks have already left the Baltics for their final wintering destinations - more to come!
#WinterIsComing

[Zwergschwäne auf Reisen|Bewick's Swans on the move @bewickiiontour]

Most of our tagged #Bewick’s swans have now returned safely and transmitted data, some have already reached Central Europe:
🇩🇪 Tschaika & Albireo have been spotted together in Lower Saxony; Marie, Wim & Bonnie commute at the northernmost tip of Germany
