Report bird ring recovery

If you find a bird ring with the address RIKSMUSEUM STOCKHOLM, please report it to us at the Bird Ringing Centre. You may also send us reports of bird rings with foreign addresses found in Sweden, and we will forward these to the appropriate ringing central.

Please note that bird species belonging to the state's wildlife and found in Sweden, must also be reported to the police for transport to the Swedish Museum of Natural History. More information can be found on the page about the State-owned wildlife.

When the recovery is processed, everyone who has reported a ringed bird will receive information about which bird species it was and where and when it was ringed.
