I recently got interested in bird ringing and have contact details of a local bird ringer.
I just wanted to know what was involved if I decide I wan't to become a ringer? What does the training entail? What courses do I need to participate in? How long does training take roughly?
I imagine there is a lot to learn and as I work full time I can't always have loads of time off to train etc.
I've looked on the RSPB & BTO websites but there is not much information so am appealing for any advice.
Thanks in advance.
