Bird Ringing in Isla Grossa

This information came through on my email, along with a bird list which I hope to post here at a later date.

"Again , the group ringing ASEAN has completed a new campaign banding in Isla Grossa . For over a month, a team of ringers and colleagues have remained permanently on the island to study the phenomenon of bird migration .

This type of long-term campaigns allow us to create databases that can be very useful in the future when it comes to understanding not only the migration of the birds but also , for example, that effects climate change can have on birds

During the campaign have been caught several species that had not been captured previously on the island as the wagtail or Hawfinch."

There were 1149 bird had not been rung before and 105 that had been rung before. The Robin was the most common bird with 529, followed by Blackcap at 133 and Black Redstart at 123.
