BTO code for Motacilla alba alba? (1 Viewer)

[jogresh]

Is there one for White Wag, M.a. a.?

TIA, M. 🤷‍♂️🙂👍🤔🐦✅

Subspecies don't tend to have their own ringing codes, so it would be PIEWA.

I'm not a ringer but I thought White Wagtail was the nominate species, with Pied being an endemic sub species?
Perhaps because it is the British Trust for Ornithology.

Thank you for the input. I'm after the 2 letter code; I think it's correct that ssp don't have their own code, so it would be PW for my sighting.
Thanks.

Subspecies have a numeric code from the EURING Database. I don't know how it may works at BTO database/software.

In ringing and nest recording BTO use PW and PIEWA for "Pied/White wagtail". In truth, can these be reliably separated even in the hand ?

Ah, it is different for the two letter code. WB for  alba

Hi Mike, thanks for your reply. There's a lot of Icelandic White Wags going through Anglesey at the mo, 3 - 4 weeks later than the peak Pied passage. Yes, quite distinctive with good views. 🙂👍🐦

Ah! You know what - I've used that before and forgotten that I had! Many thanks. 🙂👍🐦
