EURING Newsletter - Volume 1, November 1996 ANNOUNCEMENTS In this section of the newsletter we will publish different announcements (projects, specific local initiatives requiring support, field work adverts, etc.). Please send in your information and requests to be published in the next issue! Albanian Ringing Scheme The newly established Albanian Ringing Centre is a section of the
Albanian National Association for Migratory Birds. Dr. Grigor Jorgo
is in charge of the scheme, which has been able to produce rings
for large birds, with the inscription: QUENDRA UNAZIMIT The full address of the Scheme is: Shoqata Kombetare e Shpendeve Shtegtare, Rruga Naim Frasheri, Pall. 23 - Tirana, Albania. Our Albanian colleagues are planning to publish an updated list
of foreign-ringed birds found in their country, which would represent
a very interesting reference material. Moroccan Ringing Scheme Dr. Mohamed Dakki is now in charge of the Moroccan Ringing Scheme in Rabat. The full address of the scheme is: Centre d’Etude des Migrations d’Oiseaux - Institut Scientifique de Rabat, Avenue Ibn Battola, B.P. 703 - RABAT-Agdal, Morocco. In order to update the Rabat files, Dr. Dakki would very much welcome receiving all relevant information concerning recoveries in Morocco of foreign-ringed birds; he is also ready to help translating recovery letters, finding localities, etc. Please contact him for all aspects related to Morocco. EURING brochure The EURING brochure has been produced to publicise as widely as possible the activities and role of our organisation. A large number of copies have already been distributed to representatives of the different Governments. Yet the impression is that the distribution of this very well-received brochre is still far from complete. You are therefore kindly asked to provide updated address lists of all relevant organisations and people in your country as well as at the international level. The brochure can be distributed together with a brief introduction letter drafted by Chris Mead and Fernando Spina. If you need further copies of the brochure, which has so far been translated into German, Hungarian, Italian and Portuguese, please contact Fernando or Arie van Noordwijk. We hope you will try and make a better use of this important introduction to EURING! Redundant computers Several ringing schemes badly suffer from shortage in both hardware and software to store data and process recoveries. In the meantime, different centres are in the opposite lucky situation of upgrading their computer systems, and may therefore have redundant computers available, which may prove extremely useful to other colleague schemes. Although transferring machines is not necessarily easy between distant countries, we kindly ask all centres in the position of having redundant hardware/software to contact Fernando Spina in Bologna, who will try and arrange contacts. Thanks for help! Next issue of the EURING Newsletter This first issue of our newsletter should not be the last! Information, ideas, proposals are strongly needed for the second issue, to be distributed in July 1997. Please send your contribution to Fernando Spina by the end of May at latest! The newsletter can only be issued on a regular basis if we all contribute to making it a real information tool for the best of scientific bird ringing! Acknowledgments We wish to thank again all those who contributed to this first issue of the EURING newsletter, and in particular Jacquie Clark, Jane Marchant, Terry Oatley and Rinse Wassenaar. Mrs. Maria Luisa Romagnoli kindly helped assembling the material to go to the printer. Back to index of EURING Newsletter Volume 1
