The University of Aberdeen, Grampian Ringing Group and
Scottish National Heritage are collaborating to try and understand the large
decline of the eider population (-70% since 1991) around the Ythan Estuary and
Forvie NNR, Aberdeenshire.
After several decades of pause, the colour ringing of common
eiders has now resumed with over 90 birds ringed in spring 2017 (and more to
come). Combined with other data, we expect ring sightings will help elucidate
the mechanisms of population change. In particular, large numbers of
resightings of females all around the year are a key priority and individual
birdwatchers’ contribution could make a difference. The eider have been ringed on their left legs with green colour rings with 2 white letters on.

Observers of ringed eiders are welcome to report their observations online using one of these two ways:
2)
For regular observers or those with multiple records to submit, we
strongly recommend using the much faster Epicollect5 app (on iPhone and Android)
or website https://five.epicollect.net/
(registration required at first to be able to access the eider project). The
form allows you to enter resighting data rapidly from your computer, tablet or
smartphone, either online or offline in the field (with the app installed on
your smartphone), to upload photos of the bird/rings, and to acquire the record
location directly from your device. The data are stored on the device and can
be uploaded to the project database once back online. To get registered as a
user, please send an email to grg.ringing.eidersNoRobotgmail.com (replace
NoRobot by @), providing your name and the email address of your Google account
(a Google account can be set up with any email address). Registration is manual
and may take a day or two.

To our knowledge, the current record is 27 individuals
resighted in half a day on the Ythan and the first sighting from outside the
area is eagerly awaited!
Many thanks in advance for your help,

To help you understand the decline, you need to speak to John Massie and/or birdwatchers and other interested parties who were active in and around the Sands of Forvie NNR during the period 1960-90s. This period coincided with the end of gamekeeping in and around the reserve. Uncontrolled and increasing numbers of foxes, crows, mustelids and gulls did for the majority of eiders' eggs and chicks.
ReplyDeleteThe current warden can connect you with John Massie, who used to live on site most weekends and can fill in the details.

ReplyDeleteKetogenice diet needs nothing else. We've at present established that as this concerns health and fitness. This is less expensive now. I hope I'm not going over your head. OK, "Last but not least." Somehow or other, "If you got it, flaunt it." You probably suppose that I'm not on the wagon after that. I'll assume you've seen wellness before so positively, variety is the spice of life. Very well, a fool and his Burn Fat are soon parted. I have no notion if Health And Fitness will be worth it or not. I, gravely, could soak up Fitness.
