I do not wish to enter into the debate about banding except to say that
Frank O'Connor suggested a literature search at a library.  Some of the
subscribers to Birding-aus may have difficulty accessing a library but must
have access to the Internet.

A simple search on 'bird banding' using Google listed many sites which had
full details of the results (and failures in some cases) of banding.

I fail to see that "It is almost impossible to find results that assist us
to quote definitive statistics of where, when and how many birds of what
species have been banded and flagged to enable some reasonable scrutiny of
this activity.".  There appears to be a great deal of those "definitive
statistics".
