Bird Ringing Demonstration
Tutor: Ian Vaughan
The demonstration will provide a very special
opportunity for members of the public to see some of
Magor Marsh’s wild birds VERY close up. With luck, this
will include one of Magor’s specialties – the secretive
Cetti’s Warbler. Dr Ian Vaughan is an ecologist working
at Cardiff University and will help you learn how bird
ringing is carried out, why bird ringing is carried out
and the ways in which regular ringing at Magor
contributes to vital conservation work, locally,
nationally and internationally. This event is suitable
for beginners and families, provided that children are
accompanied by an adult.
