| Remarks : | Pictures of a male Amur Falcon that we ringed and released on 5 December 2010.
We rescued this male Amur Falcon from a trapper on 3 December 2010. Glue known as Birdlime was used to trap the bird. Although the bird was in perfect health and the feathers intact, there was birdlime on its right remiges and also on the rectrices, and thus the falcon was non-releasable in that condition. We cleaned up the glue and, once sure there was no impairment to its flight, we ringed and released it.
The engravings on the ring are as follows:
