This dataset contains information about the ringing records of mainly great tits, blue tits, marsh tits and coal tits, and a few other bird species. The data were collected in Wytham woods, Oxfordshire, UK during 2020 and 2021, as part of a long-term population monitoring project on the breeding biology and behaviour of birds.
During April - June, all unringed breeding pairs were trapped at the nest and fitted with a British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) metal leg ring. Great tits and blue tits were additionally fitted with a plastic leg ring containing a RFID tag (IB Technologies, UK). All nestlings were also fitted with these tags at 2 weeks old. Additional ringing was carried out throughout the autumn and winter across the woodland. Birds were trapped using mistnets; biometrics (mass, wing length, tarsus length, fats score) were recorded for all birds and immigrants to the population were fitted with tags. All birds were released after they were processed. These data were entered into our internal Edward Grey Institute (EGI) Bird data Management Project application (EBMP), where they underwent a number of quality checks.
