Fifty Years' Ringing
Introduced by James Fisher from Skokholm Bird Observatory,

Organised bird-ringing started in this country in 1909, and during its first half-century more than two million birds have been marked.
SIR LANDSBOROUGH THOMSON, a founder of the movement, shows how new light has been thrown on the geography of bird migration.
ROBERT SPENCER explains how ringing has revealed the speeds of flight and the ages of birds.
RONALD LOCKLEY , who opened Skokholm as the first British observatory in 1933, outlines the role of ringing in his species-study on the manx shearwater.
