With the aid of solar panel and a battery a 5 gram tag can be fitted to a bird and the information gained will enable the researchers to follow the species as it makes its journey through remote areas. Once again these tiny 5 gram satellite tags were deployed and since 2011 they have tracked the incredible journeys of several Cuckoos.

You may even see a tagged ibis, like we did on our trip to Sydney last year. This bird “040″ had been banded at about 5 weeks old in 2005 and given a tag as an adult in 2008 within Centennial Park. This survey started in 2003 and needs your help! You can report your sightings easily online.

Speaking of sparrows (real ones this time) the Juncos have gone from one tag-along Song Sparrow to two. I’m happy that they’re so aggressive though, because the House Sparrows have, at long last, discovered my feeder, and aggressive Juncos are the only things keeping them in line.

That’s why the current trend to radio-tag birds reveals so much more than ringing, though it is of course vastly more expensive. Rings are not the only way of marking birds, and with a number of species wing tags are more often used. When I photographed the Red Kite ( above ) near my home in Suffolk I hadn’t noticed its wing tags.

Tiny satellite tracking tags allowed scientists from the British Trust for Ornithology to track five cuckoos on their 5,000 km migration to Africa. The birds have dispersed rather widely: Four of the birds have already crossed the Sahara; two are in southern Chad, one is in northern Nigeria and the fourth one is in Burkina Faso.

The name and town of the owner were engraved on a metal tag. Later Astrid and I met in the woods with shovels and a pickaxe and broke the chain and yanked the trap from the ground. I went home, called the Department of Environmental Conservation, and voiced my outrage. The trap had been set in the woods right next to my house.

The three young men returned to their friends, bragged about their exploits, and showed them trophies: metal banding tags, which members of the Pacific Rim Conservation had carefully placed on the albatrosses’ legs in order to keep track of individual birds. The young men had severed the birds’ legs in order to remove the tags.

I have been following the local gulls with GPS tags and they spend most of their time in rubbish tips in Spain and Morocco. Yet, all the gulls are doing is defending their own. If there are too many gulls, it’s largely our fault for providing so much food for them. But why should we style the gull as enemy and the vulture as friend?

It is a bird, and it is indeed black, so that part of the tag is accurate enough. Which is not to say that the creeping hand of ornithological nepotism has never touched the blackbirds.
