Product overview
What this product covers
This product is intended for waterfowl ringing, harvest-return, university and government wildlife studies. Each ring combines unique identity with programme-approved return or reward wording so a hunter or member of the public reports species, place, date and ring number through the stated phone, web or postal route. The programme then matches the recovery to the first-capture record and controls reward eligibility and fulfilment. Confirm species, approved size, return channel, character limit, number file and reward wording before material and applicator. This page presents one standard model, BW-18-AL, in Aluminium. Dimensions, processes and acceptance notes on this page refer to this representative construction.
