Your help is much appreciated!

These types of rings, also known as bands, are generally used by scientists for a variety of reasons. Generally, they are used to track the success and/or distribution of birds in a specific region. Ringers or banders (the people who capture the birds and attach the metal ring) require government issued permits. Often, the metal rings are provided by the government; each ring has a unique number and they all get enter into a huge, generally a nation-wide, data base. Sometimes you may see birds with a combination of different colored rings in addition to the metal ring. These rings, known as "field-readable rings", are used for specific populations of birds that are being studied intensively, as these rings allow researchers to easily determine who an individual bird is without taking the time to capture it (as each individual bird is given a unique combination of colored rings). Hope this helps!

This may be of help taken from the following website, you could try email the person named and see if they might be of help, most of the pople that do organise bird ringing are always interested to see where and when they turn up.
