Ringing Opportunities in Europe (1 Viewer)

[***DIJ***]

Hello,

I am currently looking into bird ringing opportunities in Europe or UK this summer. I am T permit but v-close to C. Have a summer to fill before i go to Uni in September and really like the idea of spending some time ringing.

So if anyone has any experiences or knowledge to pass in my direction it would be greatly appreciated. The cheaper the better, 3 years of tuition fees to pay in the not so far future.

Many thanks

Daniel

Hi John,

As internet access is bad at Icklesham (heck, even some phones still can't get good signals in the valley there) I'm just passing on a quick 'thanks' from Daniel for your tip earlier this year pointing him in this direction; he's been here nearly a week now and is thoroughly enjoying the experience so much he's intending, give or take a day or three, to be with us right up to when he starts Uni.

For any other ringers who'd like to visit, do check out contact details via the BTO ringers' pages, or pm me for general info. Please note we can only consider 'T' ringers (or equivalent) coming without their own trainer IF they are already extremely close to 'C' standard. (Think of us as a 'finishing school'- your trainer will have to vouchsafe you would not require intensive close supervision, as our own team of trainers are often busy working with visiting students from overseas schemes.)
