Young rangers come face-to-face with nature

Dales Young Ranger
Muhammed Amin writes about his experience in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and in particular his pleasure when attending a bird box making session in Grassington.
Here he writes of his experience and what the young rangers learned on the day.
IT was a very bright sunny day. As I arrived at the National Park Centre, I could already hear the twittering of birdsong coming from the trees and I got more excited.
We started with Ian and Mark, the two bird ringers explaining their work.
Bird ringing is the process of attaching a tag to the leg of a bird with an individual identification number. The age, gender, species and wing size is then noted down. All the information collected is sent to the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO). This information helps track the movements and the life span of the tagged birds.
