  1. Very privileged to be able to ring storm petrels on the beach near my house! 6 ringed and 2 controls, including one with a Norwegian ring.

    Will I ever get the weird smell off my hands however? (It smells a bit like Parma violets)

  6. The oldest Oystercatchers have been discovered in the Wash in East England! 2 birds were found within 1 month of each other earlier this year; the first had been ringed in 1983 as a chick, while the second was ringed in 1982 as an adult - so it's at least 46 years old (!) and potentially even older. Amazing!

  11. In 2023, DTWG partners captured and tagged the first LeConte’s Thrasher ever banded in #Nevada, the first in an ongoing study examining how these nonmigratory birds use the landscape at different times of year.

  13. #Fotobubble - HILFE ! ⚠️ 🙏

    Ist das noch dieses #Banding? Oder fehlt es da gröber?
    Hab jetzt wieder mal abseits Astrofotos was "normales" fotografiert, kurze Belichtungszeit wegen schnellen Bewegungen.

    Alle Bilder Schrott!!!
    Hier die Vorschau der Bilder wo nur auf eine weiße Wand fotografiert wurde.
    #NikonZ7, Belichtungszeit 1/800 bei ISO 1600. Objektivunabhängig.

    Neonröhre hin oder her, die Streifen immer in horizontaler Richtung deuten auf eine Auslesethematik hin.
    Aber sooo extrem?

    Hab glaub ich schon zehnmal alle Einstellungen durchgegangen und immer noch keinerlei Ahnung was da vor sich geht.

    Weiß irgendwer mehr darüber?

  14. Bird banding session at Wellfleet Audubon that was so fascinating and educational. Surprise guest was a hummingbird. In the picture, zoom in and find a Baltimore Oriole nest. #birds #banding #wellfleet #WellfleetWildlifeSanctuary #audubon #orioles

  15. Finally, Blue N:334, a lesser black-backed gull ringed as an adult in 2020 at Ecomare, an animal rescue facility in Ílhavo, Portugal, this is the first sighting since.

  20. Final ring information recieved: Two Herring Gulls with yellow rings N1:W and X8:W both were ringed in 2014 and seen multiple times since, but only ever either at Walney or in the local area, quite a contrast to the Lesser Black-backs who enjoy trips to Spain and North Africa!

  25. My flatbed #scanner, an old Canon CanoScan 8800F, had developed a #banding issue. A much brighter band in the image. I don't use the scanner often, and I have no idea what had caused it.

    At first I thought that I need to start correcting that in software, should be easy, just subtract a suitable amount from the band area in each colour channel of the image after scanning. In some suitable software. Probably a single trivial ImageMagick command-line.

  26. I escaped the house to get outside earlier today; a brief visit to #Exmouth #Devon for a look at the River Exe.

    I was watching some #Oystercatcher and I saw that one had rings. I reported the sighting and the Devon & Cornwall Wader Ringing Group ( dcwrg.org.uk ) were good enough to reply with the bird’s history (see the screenshot) below.

  27. The BTO have developed an adaptor for Number 2 ringing (banding) pliers, to make them easier to use for people with smaller hands - an excellent and simple bit of kit that will make ringing easier for a whole load of people

  28. Several members of my #BrassBand received their service awards at the weekend. At least 2 were 50yr awards & I'm realising I'll have to be alive & still playing at 85 to get a 50yr one 🤣

    Most people seem to have started #banding as kids. I didn't even know we had a proper brass band in my area when I was a kid. I joined my 1st band in my 30's.

    It's definitely a community as well. Everyone knows everyone. Until Christmas, I couldn't even organise my own deps cos I didn't know any other brass players of a similar standard... I now know the ones that depped for the other basses.

    Most bands seem to have at least one married couple in them. I can't even get my husband to come to one of my concerts or contests, never mind actually learn a brass instrument & play in one.

    I am basically still a baby in terms of banding, an old baby & a bit of an outsider. But my band (most bands) are very accepting & supportive & in the bandroom I feel I am one of them. Plus, I might only have been playing 5yrs (this time, I played Tuba as a kid), but I have some trophies under my belt, so that's kinda cool.

  29. Well, today in my semi incapacitated state (got a really bad cold this week), I solved the horizontal hole banding mistery.
