2010 RINGS
& GENERAL LICENCE
ANNOUNCEMENT
Rings are dispatched in padded envelopes, postal damage is unlikely,
but rings should be checked on arrival. Please note a slight
misalignment of digits or a slight flaking of white inlay does occur
in manufacture and should not be a matter of concern as it is totally
different to damage caused when a ring is tampered with.
Users of General Licences
should make themselves
fully aware of conditions of the licence they use. Copies of General
Licences can be obtained by post from Natural England, Block A
Government Buildings, Coley Avenue, Coley Park, reading RG1 6DT or can
be accessed on website www.naturalengland.org.uk
Species listed on Schedule 3 part 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside
Act are permitted under legislation to be offered for sale or
competitively shown if ringed in accordance with ringing regulations
i.e. Captive Bred and ringed with the correct size ring issued by the
B.B.C. or I.O.A.
Note Schedule 3 part 1 species not ringed in
accordance with ringing regulations must be individually licensed by
Natural England if they are to be offered for sale or competitively
shown. Application form link
http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/regulation/wildlife/licences/applicationforms.aspx
General Licence WML/GEN L16 permits the competitive
showing of species not listed on Schedule 3 part 1 subject to
conditions of this licence. Note proof of breeding
documentation is a condition of this licence.
General Licence WML/GEN L18 permits sale and competitive
showing of Mealy Redpoll (Carduelis flammea flammea) provided it is
ringed with size C ring issued by B.B.C. or I.O.A. Note
documentation is not now a requirement of this licence.
General Licence WML/GEN L24 permits sale of species not
listed on Schedule 3 part 1 provided conditions of the licence are
