Bird Ringing demonstration
Join BTO Scotland for a mist-netting & bird ringing demonstration
Drop in to see how Jonathan Jones and his team from British Trust for Ornithology catch birds in specialised fine-mesh mist nets, and process them to collect vital biological data including sex, age, weight and size.
The birds are then ringed with unique identification bands and released back into their environment without harm. The data collected helps to build our picture of bird populations and migrations.
The BTO team comprises trained, licensed individuals to ensure bird safety.
Children over 5 welcome if accompanied by an adult.
Sorry no dogs.
Location: Armadale Gardens
Note: The ticket is valid all day, so you can drop in when you want, but tickets are required. Please show your ticket on entering the garden via the Armadale castle shop.
