Distribution of Murres Outside the Breeding Season: Circumpolar Murre Banding Program

Distribution of Murres Outside the Breeding Season: Circumpolar Murre Banding Program

A proposal for a co-operative banding (called ringing in the UK) project between the Arctic countries, which are responsible for the total breeding population of Thick-billed Murres (called Brünnich’s Guillemots in the UK) Uria lomvia, and the majority of the Common Murres (Common Guillemots in the UK) Uria aalge. It is hoped that non-Arctic countries would also be able to join this project, since important Common Murre populations breed at lower latitudes, such as in the UK and Germany.
