We catch and ring birds on behalf of the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) and all the biometric data we measure is submitted to their National Database to study demographic aspects such as breeding success, winter survival rates, population changes, changes in migration routes etc.

We perform the ringing sessions at 8 sites located in NE Hertfordshire, South Cambridgeshire and NW Essex (situated between Royston and Saffron Walden).

When running sessions, we meet at dawn on any day of the week (mostly weekdays) when the weather is suitable (low winds and no rain) and run the sessions for 4 - 6 hours depending on catching rates.

We aim to do 2 - 3 sessions per week as weather conditions allow.
