Hi Clas and all,
 
in the past the Israeli ringing procedure was using the regular rocket net
practise that is well used all over the world.
 
in the last season we've started a new method that is working on the same idea
of rocket net, but in stead of using explosives we're using a Pneumatic system
(air pressure) that is firing the net on the baited Cranes.
 
so far it was working quite effectively and we're aiming to use the same system
in this coming season.
 
all the best,
Itai Shanni
 I'd rather go birding...

Subject: [grus-grus] Ringing of Cranes in Israel


Dear Ladies and Gentlemans,

Now, it´s time for a real crane-amateur to take part of discussion of colour
combinations.
First of all. Thank you Gunther, for information what´s decided withing the
ringing group of ECWG.

Finally, my question.
What´s the trapping method in Israel?

Kind regards,
