THE British Trust for. Ornithology,. which organises bird ringing in Great.Biitain and.

.. . „


‘‘ The concept behind the CES is simple. Bird ring­ ers visit the same sites each summer and, using tne same nets set up in exactly the same places, catch and ring the local birds every 10 days from May to August. They send details of both the new birds caught and the already ringed birds which are recaptured to the BiU for analysis. This information gives a measure of popu­ lation changes, productivity and survival. During 1996, some 110 CES sites were covered
