Bird Ringing in Antikythira Island (S Greece)

For the period of 1998-2004 we carried out bird ringing on Antikythira island (Greece). During this period, with the help of 39 volunteers, we caught a total of 9455 birds belonging to 73 different species. On our best day we ringed 441 birds in the spring of 2002. In the spring of 2004 we obtained the maximum number of bird species, which was 52 species, and the maximum number of birds, which was 2886 in the period of 25 days. During this study we had four controls and two recoveries. Most of them were found or ringed during the spring of 2004.
