Ring Information Photos

We at SAFRING have made a small addition to our ring record page by linking it to Birdpix. This means that it is now possible for ringers to upload their ringing photos to be displayed above the ringing details of each record (by following the instructions below). Non-ringers will also be able to take part by uploading your re-sighting photos and sending us the link when alerting us.


INSTRUCTIONS

1. Upload your ringing data to the SAFRING web.(Only for ringers)

2. Upload 1-3 photos of the ringed bird to Birdpix (part of the ADU Virtual Museum). To do this Login/or sign up to http://vmus.adu.org.za with the same login as for the SAFRING web. Upload your photos and make sure the ring number is mentioned in the Notes - the ring number must be in the SAFRING format, eg 412345 (not 4-12345) or BC12345 (not BC 12345), ie one alpha-numeric number with no spaces or hyphens. There is a pdf help guide on the http://vmus.adu.org.za site if you have not uploaded any photos there before.

3. You will need to wait for the Birdpix panel to accept the record before you will see it (this usually happens within less than a day). Examples of this is ring record: PA06657, 729577, K44381

To see a larger version of the photos, you can click on the image and a new tab opens with the Birdpix site where there is an option to view the photos at highest resolution.

Enjoy this new feature and I look forward to seeing all your interesting photos.
