Online Ringing and Nest Recording Report
This online annual ringing report provides summaries of the birds ringed and recovered, by bird recording area, country and for the whole of Britain & Ireland. Nest Record Scheme totals by county and country are also available.
Information is included on birds reported to BTO during the selected year, though some of these reports will refer to individuals found in earlier years.

Identification for Ringers
by Kenneth Williamson, BTO.
These guides to the identification have long been out of print. However, as ringers find them useful they are now freely available here as searchable PDFs.
We are grateful to Dave Coker who kindly scanned these guides to allow them to be made available on the web.
