The new European colour-ring Birding website is online under www.cr-birding.org

Before using the site, read carefully ‘How to use this website’ (to be found under ‘HOME’)

----- ----- -----

This site is not updated anymore

colour-ring projects are step-by-step transferred from the old to the new website

Would you like to help with this tremendous job ? do please contact me
If a group (Latin name disappears) or a species (date under the species disappears) is fully transferred,

a link towards the new website is established.

New projects (since January 2011) are only mentioned on the new website.

European colour-ring Birding © is created (September 1995) and maintained by Dirk Raes, during his free time.
As volunteer I hope to update twice monthly my website.

European colour-ring Birding © is a platform between the field-observer and the project-leader.

Therefore I can't provide any details or life-list of your sighting.

To get this information, you have to go through this website, find the project-leader and contact her/him.
