Reading birdrings by telescope and binoculars

Reading birdrings by telescope is a fascinating sport. It will give you lots of recoveries from many countries. Some Ringing schemes are 'not amused' by the amount of readings they receive, but it will give them many reliable 'recaptures' on which good research is possible.
It's always handy for all those behind the telescope to have a list of birds and ringnumbers. The information below is a summary of all telescope readings in the Arnhem-database (okt.2003: n=109.000, 51.000 is L.ridibundus). Please remember: it's always possible that you see a new ringserie.
For reading Dutch rings there is an  overview  of all ringseries issued in the Netherlands.
And don't forget to visit  Holmer's website  where many, many scans are present how all those rings realy look.
