Colour ringing scheme

All species, apart from Jackdaw, are being trapped and marked within the East Glamorgan recording area, and of course, any could be seen in either the east or west of VC41.  Gower in this case, is used simply to refer to the group under which the rings are registered rather than a geographical area for the project.

Colour-marked Bird Reporter

Gower Ringing Group operates several colour-ringing projects trying to better understand the movements and demographics of our study species:

  • Dipper
  • Jackdaw
  • Rock Pipit
  • Willow Tit

The Group is keen to collect sightings of these birds, and welcomes submissions from all recorders.  As a result, a new colour-marked bird reporter is available to capture any resightings, https://gower-ringing-group.shinyapps.io/sightings/.
