BTO Ringing App goes live!

If you are a ringer, have you ever been out nest recording or ringing and found yourself with a brood of chicks or an adult bird that you don't normally ring? The question is then swiftly followed by "What ring size does this bird take again?" as you start hunting for your ringers manual.








BTO information systems have developed an application for android phones that gives you a list of birds with their corresponding ring size!




Also included in this app are:

• Ring size for full grown and pulli
  
• Latin name and Euring number
  
• Wing length and weight ranges
• Schedule 1 licence specifics
• Types of rings (specifications, address used and metal type)

You can now be out in the field and have all this information to hand.
This app is free and can be downloaded from the App Market on your phone (only if your phone has access to the App market and is v1.6 or higher with a touch screen, iphones not included).
