公眾講座：
研究野鳥：環誌及標記方法

鳥類環誌是一種研究野鳥的技巧。研究人員為雀鳥套上金屬或塑膠腳環，以便調查牠們的居住生境、分佈、種群變化、遷移或遷徒的資料。目前香港有一群專家（稱為「雀鳥環誌員」）正在進行這類環誌工作。環誌員也運用其他技巧包括無線電追蹤、衛星追蹤等的方法進行深入探究和調查。是次講座，講者會介紹幾類鳥類環誌的方法，分享和展望環誌對鳥類保育的觀察。

Public Lecture:
Bird Ringing and other marking methods used to study wild birds

Bird ringing is a technique used to study wild birds. By attaching a small individually numbered metal or plastic ring, various aspects of the birds' life including habitats, distribution, population dynamics and patterns of movements or migration can be studied. This technique is currently undertaken in Hong Kong by a trained group of experts (called "bird ringers").  Other techniques for studying wild birds including radio-tracking and satellite-tracking will also be discussed.  The speaker will introduce the way of studying birds by these different techniques and will share a broad view with regard to the implications to the conservation of wild birds in Hong Kong and beyond.
