Ringing and recovery totals for 2009. Pulli are birds ringed in the nest, juveniles are those identified as being in their first calendar year, adults are all birds in their second or later calendar year. Some birds cannot be aged by plumage characteristics, these unaged birds are tabulated separately and are included in the totals for the year. Note: the ringing totals currently only include birds for which the ringing data were submitted electronically. A few birds (mostly scarcer raptors) ringed at confidential locations have been excluded from the individual couty totals, but are included in the country totals.
Recoveries are reports of birds found dead or found alive away from the site of ringing. For most species, birds recaught within 5km of the ringing site are generally excluded, but for Storm Petrel (20km), Mute Swan and Canada Goose (40km), common shore waders (30km), gulls (40km) and Sand Martin (10km) this threshold is greater.
