The 30 June 2008 signaled the end of the 2007 ringing season and the following is a summary thereof. In total 9 637 birds of 270 species were ringed or re-trapped, controlled etc. this season. Out of this total 9 033 were newly ringed birds (i.e. SAFRING code 1). Data from 19 ringers was received and Dirk Heinrich once again is the "ringing king" of code 1 birds, followed by Tim Osborne and Mark Boorman but in the re-trap etc. category Tim pipped Dirk, followed by Ursula Franke. Dirk also held top spot in the number of different species ringed category. Lark-like Bunting once again is the top species ringed, followed by Common Tern and Red-headed Finch. Twenty-seven species of birds of prey were ringed and vultures account for more than half of the total of 329 birds ringed. In the waterbird category 1 662 birds of 36 species were ringed and three tern species top this list. It is pleasing to see that nine (out of 16) endemic species were ringed (319 birds in total).
