Colour ringed/marked birds

If you have seen colour rings or colour marks on one of the bird types below, please select the appropriate image or link. Please make sure you click on the appropriate area (note these pages are currently only available in English):

Most colour ring sightings are sent on to volunteer species coordinators. The coordinator tries to identify the project and sends your sighting to the relevant ringer who will then get in touch with you. This process can take some time, especially if there is doubt about the identity of either the bird or the marker, so please be patient. However, if you have not heard anything after six months please email colourringing@bto.org and we will investigate.
