Bird Colour Ringing Schemes
European colour-ring Birding is supported by The Norwegian Bird Ringing Centre, EURING and SOVON. --- --- --- Dear ringer, with now >6350 cr-projects, if an update of your project is needed, do please mention - apart from the information - also the exact place [the node, the page] of your project on the cr. When the Ringing Scheme began over 100 years ago, the primary aim was to about birds' movements.
Attaching a uniquely coded metal ring to a bird's leg allows the individual to be identified if encountered at a later date, revealing the distance, direction and duration of travel. Ringers colour-marking birds in countries other than that for which they have their licence/permit must have their marking scheme, which is approved by the IWSG, also approved by the ringing scheme or relevant authority in that country. Listed below are all the species and colour-marks used for each study.

Aims of colour-ringing Colour-ringing, or generally speaking colour-marking, is a valuable research tool for a variety of bird studies. Short term research, such as detailed behavioural investigations of activities and interactions of a particular set of birds in a restricted area, or long-term research on demography and population dynamics, movements between breeding and wintering areas. The scheme uses coloured rings, 7mm in depth, made from Darvic PVC plastic.

After registering as a user, you can report the colour code you have seen and immediately receive data on where the bird has been ringed and observed before. to show all projects and information on reporting.

Turnstone The group marks Turnstone with a black scheme marker ring on the left tibia and two colour rings on the left tarsus (= lower leg) and two colour rings on the right tarsus. Below you will find a link to download a Google spreadsheet containing the latest version of the Colour Mark Register for Europe and the East Atlantic flyway. This is an extract of a larger database and meant for the following purposes: for observers to match their sightings for ringers to check the details of their existing schemes for Ringing Offices to check which schemes are in operation.
