Training to ring

Bird ringing takes many forms and can be very rewarding. It does take a lot of effort to learn the skills required to ring birds and typically takes two years to complete the initial training followed by a further two years to fully qualify. That can involve many early morning starts (you'll be getting up before the sun does).
