How bird banding is used for research - re Little Tern disaster

["Scott O'Keeffe" <>]

Simon-

Thanks for your informative piece.  I am puzzled as to why you do not think
that ethical issues should be discussed on this forum..  I disagree totally
with Marilyn, but I think that this is exactly the sort of forum where these
issues should be discussed.  There are few other places as relevant.

Marilyn et al,

I understand your concerns to some extent about bird banding. I would rather
not discuss the ethical issues on this forum as I do not believe that it is
the place. However, I would like to point out that individual marking
studies do in fact have extremely important uses for research...

There is a great deal more that can be said on this topic and what I have
summarised is only a coarse series of examples. I hope they help.

Regards,

Simon Mustoe.
