Face of a juvenile Sparrowhawk.Bird ringing in the UK and worldwide provides invaluable data on the breeding success and survival of bird populations, why populations are changing, as well as bird migration patterns.  Kate will talk about the process of bird ringing, review some of the data collected locally and discuss how ringing data may be used to support conservation initiatives. Together with data from other bird surveys, data from bird ringing may be used to identify problems and target mitigation measures to address population declines.
