    Ringed bonxie

    I usually prefer to write the scientific name. There's no chance to get wrong, except if it's not updated (as in this case). I'm Spanish and it's normal that I don't know a lot of english names (not the case) and that's what scientific names are for :)

    Ringed bonxie

    Wow! Didn't notice that there was a section for "Stercorarius skua". I've been searching for "Catharacta skua" and only an orange-PVC project appeared. Now I understand why... thank you!

    Ringed bonxie

    Hi! Last july I saw this PVC-ringed bonxie in Handa (Scotland). It had a pale blue PVC ring in the left leg with the inscription "E8". I've been asking to some people since then, but I haven't recieved nothing. Even the BTO doesn't know who belongs to. Could someone help me? Thanks!

    Ringed puffin

    Hi! Last summer, on July 7th, I observed a ringed Puffin on the island of Lunga (Scotland). I could not see the entire code of the ring, but it was wearing a metallic ring on the right tarsus with the sender "BTO" and the (incomplete) code "EZ3025(0?)". Could someone help me locate where this...

    Ringing pliers

    Hello. Any ringer or ex-ringer interested in selling ringing pliers? I am interested in buying the old model of straight and crooked handles from Porzana, but it's being impossible to find. All websites show the photo of the old model but they sell the new one, which I find to be more...
