BTO Ringing & NRS Info

Can’t live without this app as a field ecologist it’s very handy to have reminders of species codes. There are a few species missing from the app so that could do with a review, but as of lately, the links to the BTO website are now broken, since the BTO have updated their website. I hope these links will be fixed / re-linked, as it was also handy to be able to click ‘browse link to BTO Bird Facts’ to find out more on the species RE more detail about their protection status. Unless of course this info can be integrated into the app, which would be even better as you are then not reliant on mobile signal to get quick information. Hope BTO support this app more, it’s an invaluable tool for field ecologists / surveyors, not just bird ringers.

If you should catch an unexpected species and don't carry Ringers Manual, or have that handy index sheet in the back of Svensson or Baker... It's all here, plus a bit. I like the link to BirdFacts. Are we heading towards Svensson Online?? A word of caution to trainees - this is a handy backup reference, NOT a substitute for time spent with your trainer, or reading (and absorbing) Ringers Manual.
