PROMOTING RESPONSIBILITY. The Professional, Responsive, Proactive Service
Our rings are bright blue anodised aluminium. They have a unique numbering method that complies with current legislation (COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 865/2006). They have a unique ring number and our 24hr telephone number on them, they are not year marked so can be kept for use another year. IBR rings are accepted by the WLRS for use on all birds of prey including those listed on Schedule 4. The ring number is held on the database against your name until we are told otherwise.
