Estonian bird rings bear the text ESTONIA MATSALU. Thus, the Matsalu ringing center is also coordinating the tagging of birds and bats throughout Estonia. Here you can find data about all the birds tagged in Estonia, as well as about the rings that have been found. A large proportion of birds are tagged in Kabli and Häädemeeste bird stations. Each year about 1,500 tagged birds are identified. The furthest that birds tagged in Estonia have been found is in South Africa.
