A photo gallery showing bird ringing events in the Cape Town area may be viewed here. The photos illustrate community involvement in ringing especially school children and students. The ringing events include mist-netting as well as ringing chicks. Watching bird ringing events gives insights into birds that are not readily apparent during normal bird watching, and participants are able to hold and release birds after ringing. To join bird ringing events in Cape Town, check dates on this calendar. Also check out the gallery regularly for updates of more interesting photos.
