Bird Ringing

Bird Ringing - Canceled

A less known activity offering great scientific and educational interest. Bird ringing involves capturing, marking, studying (e.g. measurements) and subsequent release of birds. A good opportunity to see at very close quarters the birds that every year pass through this region!
