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.

03/02/25 - World Wetlands Day

With our World Wetlands Day celebration now over, Shaun is hitting the road again to help spread the Countryside Code message elsewhere, but we’re pleased to say that Saturday was a huge success thanks to Shaun and our fantastic team who were busy all day recruiting new volunteers and running activities including bird ringing, guided walks, nest box/bird feeder construction and owl pellet dissection. 



It was also great to see the local school children in Melbourne getting involved in learning about why wetlands like the #LDV are so important and what we can all do to help protect them. 



Shaun’s arrival in the #LDV last week also coincided with the delivery of our new responsible recreation signs as part of our ongoing trial. Look out for these going up around the reserve over the course of the next few weeks informing visitors of public access areas and viewing facilities, and how we can all do our bit to help look after our special wildlife.
