Hi,

Today I spotted this banded Canada Goose at the Steinhorster Becken just west of Paderborn, Germany. Does anyone know where I should report this?
After searching the net, all I came up with is sites like this

It appears that people get an extra kick out of shooting banded or ringed ducks and geese. Must be a red neck thing.:eek!::-C

Maybe this will help:

I note blue neck collars with four digit LLNN codes are likely to be Mississippi flyway. Good luck chasing this one down.

Cheers

John

Unfortunately not quite so crazy and it'll be a bird ringed in The Netherlands:

It looks like PLA, but you might have had a better look than me.

Thanks guys, report sent.

Edit: I got a reply to my e-mail and was asked to login to this website http://www.geese.org/Ganzen/index.jsp which is a Dutch ringing/banding organisation.
Out of interest is there a list of organisations somewhere on birdforum where we can look up organisations for reporting rings/bands we observe in the field?
Should we start a sticky? It would be useful I think
