Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our approach<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Besides spoonbill diets in the Waddensea we focus our research on colour ringing of young spoonbills in the colonies and observing these rings in and outside the colonies. Reading and processing of these data is done by volunteers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
