Report form for ring recoveries

Neckbanded and colour-ringed swan and geese are kindly requested to be informed directly to https://www.geese.org

With this form you can report birds carrying rings that you have seen or found (both those ringed in Finland and elsewhere) to the Finnish Ringing centre. The Ringing Centre wishes that you would also send especially worn rings by mail. This can be done free of charge; see instructions for reporting rings.

The obligatory fields are emphasized. You may skip other fields, if there is no information about them. The sent data will be available for printing after you have sent the form. Remember to wash your hands after handling dead animals!
