Found a ringed bird?
Please report it here
Annually, approximately 200,000 to 250,000 wild birds are ringed in Norway. The results of this tell us about our birds’ migration routes, stop over sites and wintering areas. By trapping and ringing birds, we learn about the proportion of juveniles and adults in the bird population and can say something about how the breeding season has been.
When ringed birds are recovered, we can calculate their age and gather data on important causes of death. This knowledge is essential for managing the bird populations in a good way.
