Recovery form

If you find a bird with the ring, and you were able to read its number, let us know about it. Please enclose the ring, if the bird was dead (you can flatten it; we can send it back on demand). After completing the data about the ringed bird you found, we will inform you giving its species, ringing place and date.

If you are not able to give exact answer to one or more of below's questions, please support approximate data or - if you cannot give any answer - put the question mark in the respective field.
