Welcome to the LDV NNR ringing blog, this blog is designed to share the experiences, findings and tales from a group of dedicated ringers. We specialise in conservation orientated research projects, largely focusing on wildfowl, waders, owls and birds of conservation concern, in and around the Vale of York NNR's.

NB - Whilst the purpose of this blog was initially designed to cover our nationally important wildfowl ringing activities, it now also features wildlife and work posts, explaining how we manage the NNR for both wildlife and people.

01/09/11 - Ringing at the Office (Bank Island)

The first day netting at the feeding station by the office brought a total of 44 new birds, the majority being juveniles. We also had 2 re-trap Goldfinch, with one of them sporting a set of colour rings, left leg: purple over red.
