Report a Bird Resighting

Seen a bird with a ring, tag, flag, or marker? Report where and when you saw it, then tell us about the bird. Your observation helps researchers understand migration and conservation patterns.

Reports are linked to your BNHS account, so the ringing team can write back to you with what they find.
