In 2018, atotal of 30 ornithologists and birdwatchers participated in the work of the RaptorRingingCenterof the Russian Raptor Research and Conservation Network and ringed 615 individuals of 24 species of Birds of Prey and Owls. The leading species that have maximum ringed individuals is Upland Buzzard (Buteo hemilasius) – 118 individuals; it followed by Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) – 88 ind., Steppe Eagle (Aquila nipalensis) – 85 ind., Saker Falcon (Falco cherrug) – 62 ind., Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca) – 50 ind., and White-Tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) – 47ind. During the last 8 months of 2018 and the first 4 months of 2019 we got an information about 37 ringed raptors (38 recoveries), 36 of them were possible to read and identify. The highest number of recoveries we got from Saker Falcon (12 ind. – mainly they are fledglings), White-Tailed Eagle and Peregrine Falcon (6 ind. recoveries per species).
