note 1 : 

White ring with a black two alpha code (on left or right tibia).

* 1 c-ring (on right tibia)
* metal ring (on left tibia).

but also : combination of 1 uncoded c-ring and a metal ring.

note 1: combination of 3 uncoded c-rings used for adult birds on breeding sites.

note 2 : used colours are black, orange, red, white, dark-green, dark-blue, yellow. Red colour not used after 2015.

note 5 : the project started april 2014 in the Drava River area (NE Slovenia) : 53 adult birds (used colours O-R-W-B) and 95 chicks (used colours N-O-R-W-G-B) were ringed during the breeding season of 2014.

note 6 : 33 adult birds (used colours N-B-G-O-W) and 124 chicks (used colours N-B-G-O-R-W) ringed during the breeding season of 2015.

note 7 : Warning! As of 2015, red colour rings extensively faded after only one year to the point that they are hard to distinguish from orange (O) rings in the field (see image – comparison of recovered red ring with unused one and with unused orange).
