Bird Ringing (Swallows) at Pallas Lake

25 August 2025
Overview
Join experienced bird ringer Declan Manley at Pallas Lake to observe bird ringing in practice. The birds roost communally in the reedbed at Pallas Lake before returning to Africa for the winter, this gives an opportunity to safely catch and ring the birds (before safely releasing) allowing for biological data to be collected giving us a further understanding of their ecology and migration. Bird ringing is conducted under license from The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS).
Meet at Pallas Lake at 8:30pm, no booking required.
