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.

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.

Seeing a condor out in the wild is amazing, fantastic, magical, spiritual – even if they have a blue wing tag. In fact seeing they have a wing tag makes it even more magical to me – people care!!!

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.

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?

By tagging the Parrot and monitoring the area with remote cameras, scientists hope to learn more about this species and how to keep it safe. In Australia, ornithologists have finally gotten their hands on a Night Parrot , the first such capture in more than 100 years. The bird is so rare and elusive that it was thought to be extinct.
