Welcome to the RMRG web site
We are a volunteer group whose mission is to study the birds of Rye Meads, Hertfordshire (United Kingdom), particularly by trapping and ringing them. This site presents a summary of the birds, ringing data and activities of the Group.
For a more detailed description of the activities of the Group, see About RMRG. You can also find here a description of the site, and photographs not only of the site but also of some of the birds we catch.
Highlights of birds seen at Rye Meads this year can be found in the Observations section. Members and Friends of the Group receive more details in our Bulletin; click here to find out how to join.
For information about birds we have ringed, go to our Ringing Totals page. This shows details of year to date totals, with a summary interpreting last year's highlights. In addition, a review of the Group's contribution to the national totals based on the most recently issued Ringing Scheme report can be found here.
A summary of birds ringed at Rye Meads and reported from elsewhere - and vice versa - can be found at Recoveries.
If you wish to contact the Group, by email or by letter or phone, details are in Contacts.
