I spent many years monitoring this and the Common / Roseate Tern colonies before the Fleet Air Arm destroyed the later. You are assured of my dedication to wildlife despite our conflicting views.<br />Thanks again<br />BagsyBagsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15782491971046457212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797216275471825532.post-56467024874751261112010-06-22T20:18:30.447+01:002010-06-22T20:18:30.447+01:00First i would like to congratulate the RSPB staff ...First i would like to congratulate the RSPB staff and volunteers on the hard work and dedication on Dorset reserves .some tricky decisions may have had to be made in the short term but its all for the long term good of the reseves and its wildlife . Its great to hear tern chicks have hatched and the RSPB have allowed them to be ringed . Rimgig is such a vital conservation tool , the more information we can gain from marking these birds to asses fledging survial , adult mortality , recuritment in to the breeding population and threats in the wintering grounds the better we can conserve these wonderful birds we can only get this information from ringing . Ringing is carrried out with the highest welfare for the birds and carried out with minimal disturbance to the birds . Ringers are licensed and very experinced with years of training . Bird watchers , ringers and conservation staff are wanting the best for our reseves and wildlife . i find comments and veiws on this blog very short sighted and very unnessacary , only trying to cause a divide amongst bird watchers , ringers , conservation staff. when the opposite is true and only when all groups work together can we acheive want we all want . Wonderful nature reserves and heathly bird / wildlife populations for the future . i would like to appeal to other readers to condone these unhelpful views And congratulate all those people working hard and deticated to bird conservation work in dorset .
