Banded bird blog

Hello my name is Peter Langlands. I have had a life long interest in ornithology. For me one of the most exciting aspects of bird research is that which comes from banding birds, especially with colour bands, so that birds can be identified in the field. The movements and longevity of individual birds can be monitored. In this informal blog I hope to share some insights that band recoveries I, and others, have made give into the lives of our birds. For conservation research bird banding is an important tool.
