I received today two ringing returns . Both were Oystercatchers ringed as pulli on Foulney last summer. A total of 10 were ringed and as we all know the first year of life is the critical one for survival. I assume they were found as part of a beach survey this winter looking for dead "Oinks". Last winter was one of the worst and I will be looking with interest to see how birds survived on the bay.
About Us

- 01229 Ringing Group is an alliance of bird ringers and helpers operating roughly within the 01229 telephone dial code region. This extends from about Haverthwaite in the east through to Walney in the west and Eskmeals (near Ravenglass) in the north. We operate an exclusion zone of 5km from Walney Bird Observatory at the south end of Walney Island. This is not a formal BTO Ringing Group.
