Spoonbills
species:
Eurasian Spoonbill
scientific name:
Platalea leucorodia
notes:
Black ring with white three alpha-numeric code (on one leg) and metal ring (on other leg).
note 1 : example : a/N[IAB] and a/N[01X] and a/N[238] and a/N[A01].
note 2 : the letter "I" has two large stipples at the end, so it's often reported as "T"; however all 3 letters codes always begin with the letter "I" while the letter "T" has never been used in the first position of the code. From 2016 onwards we will start to use codes made combining a letter in the first positiion (A, B, C, D, F, H, J, K, L, N, P, S, T, V, Z) plus 2 numbers (00-99).
note 3 : Mauro Fasola ringed in 1991-1998, since then Stefano Volponi is carrying on the field work.
