Bird-ringing

Nature Kenya coordinates bird-ringing (banding) programmes in East Africa. Birds are carefully caught in fine mist-nets, measured, weighed, and fitted with a lightweight aluminium ring bearing a number and an address. The birds are then released.

Birds ringed in Nairobi gardens have been observed for up to ten years. Birds migrating from Europe and Asia to Africa each year have been recovered from as far away as Siberia!

There is also an active ringing group in Nairobi, training young Kenyans in this important ornithological skill.

Contacts: Graeme Backhurst (East African Ringing Scheme) or Titus Imboma (Nairobi Ringing Group) at Nature Kenya.
