Harriers
species:
Hen Harrier
scientific name:
Circus cyaneus
notes:
Combination of a dark-blue ring with a white two alpha-numeric code (1 letter and 1 number) (on one leg) and a metal ring with a c-ring (on the other leg).
note 1 : the birds are ringed on the East Frisian Islands/Niedersachsen/Germany. The uncoded colour-ring on one leg is the marker for the island, while the blue ring with inscription is for the individual. The colour for the islands will remain the same for the next years, but I will switch leg and/or ring position to mark the year of ringing.
note 2 : the ring above the metal ring is an island marker, so also incomplete readings are welcome.
