Request to Ringers, Great Tits (1 Viewer)

Are there any ringers on the forum operating in Britain (or western Europe) and regularly ringing Great Tits (and Blue Tits), eg in a garden?

If so, I would be interested in the following data, can be this year as the winter proceeds or from a past winter:

- total percentage of males and females (if possible, broken down into first winters and adults) caught each month from October through to March.

Many thanks.
 
If this is a pretty simple request for your own research then you could put a data request into either BTO or EDB (Euring Data Bank) and get a much larger set of data...

Ah many thanks, I didn't imagine the BTO would do that for individuals requesting.

Do I need to add any research proposal or something?! At present, it is just for personal interest to try and calculate sex-specific migration bias in the northern populations that populate my feeding stations.

Drop Jacquie Clark ([email protected]) an email at BTO and she can send you a data request form.
