The first three years of Turkish National Ringing Scheme:
10 birds of 7 species ringed in Turkey were reported from 5 countries.
2003 results
• Apart from international recoveries, an Alcedo atthis ringed at Cernek station was controlled at Akyatan station
• 3 Phoenicopterus ruber ringed in Gediz Delta was observed in Gediz Delta and Çukurova Delta
Three years of ringing brought;
• a first country record of Phylloscopus borealis
• third and fourth country records for Acrocephalus dumetorum
• fourth country record of Phylloscopus inornatus
• several new site records like Otus brucei in Diyarbakır
In the scope of National Ringing Scheme, more than
70,000 birds have been ringed so far.
Very limited number of Turkish licensed ringers was a major
bottleneck and active contributions by Polish colleagues were
crucial for success.
Collaboration with SE European Bird Migration Network (SEEN)
Our involvement in the SEEN continue to be crucial for the further
development of the scheme.
Colour Ringing Studies
Mediterranean Gull
773 nestlings have been ringed since 1997.
Dalmatian Pelican
Since 1987, 382 nestlings have been ringed.
White Stork
65 nestlings were ringed in Kızılcahamam (Ankara)and Bursa in 2003-2004.

“Expansion, Improvement and Publicization of National Ringing Scheme” Project
2002-2004
with the support of UNDP GEF SGP
This project aimed to:
• improve national capacity by training new ringers,
• inform and involve local conservation authorities,
• raise public awareness through on-site interaction with birds
and information dissemination,
• build up a ringing stations network in Turkey, and,
• fully integrate the Turkish National Ringing Scheme with
international initiatives.
Ringing courses
100 people participated in 2 courses in March and August 2003
Education activities with children
Education activities for national park wardens
6th SEEN Workshop
6-8 February 2004, İstanbul

National Ringing Scheme in Press
A custom-built software for managing records and for statistical analyses.
The NRS is of utmost importance for , • Systematic bird migration research,• Long-term monitoring of species,• Bird migration population dynamic studiesof Turkey.
• Well targeted conservation projects.
Since migrants know no boundaries, international collaboration is vitally important for the sound research and conservation studies.
