<\/a>Colour-ringed Yellow-breasted Bunting<\/strong> Emberiza aureola<\/em> \u00a9 Wieland Heim<\/center><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Rapidly declining population trends have recently been found for Yellow-breasted Bunting<\/strong> Emberiza aureola<\/em> and Rustic Bunting<\/strong> E. rustica<\/em>, but our knowledge about their migration routes and survival rates is still very limited. To address this, a colour-ring study was started at Muraviovka Park in Far East Russia. Volunteers of the Amur Bird Project equipped the first Yellow-breasted Buntings with individual combinations during breeding season in 2015. Happily, three out of seven males safely returned to their breeding grounds in 2016. To compare survival rates among sympatric breeding species, we decided to include Black-faced Bunting<\/strong> E. spodocephala<\/em>, Chestnut-eared Bunting<\/strong> E. fucata<\/em>, Common Reed Bunting <\/strong>E. schoeniclus<\/em> and Japanese Reed Bunting<\/strong> E. yessoensis<\/em> in our study. During spring and summer 2016, we managed to equip almost 200 buntings with colourful ring combinations at our study site on the Amur river.<\/p>\n Now, migration has begun for most of these species, and our colour-ringed buntings might occur anywhere in East Asia. Please scan all bunting flocks carefully! All birds have one colour-ring above the metal ring of the Moscow ringing centre on one leg, and two colour-rings on the second leg. Used colours are black, blue, green, orange, purple, red, white and yellow. If possible, take\u00a0 pictures of buntings which seem to wear a ring. We had to find out that it can be hard to determine the colour in the field, however it is very easy on the computer screen, even if the photo is anything but perfect.<\/p>\n Please let us know if you come across a colour-ringed bird, and help to shed light on the yet unknown migration routes of this beautiful birds! We will send you in return all information about the bird.<\/p>\n Contact:<\/p>\n Wieland Heim Watch out for colour-ringed buntings!
