Namibian ringers once again excelled in 2011 ringing close to 16,000 birds of 248 species. Four ringers handled over 2,000 birds (Dirk, Neil, Mark B and Ursula) and Dirk's tenacity once again put him on top of the list for the number of species ringed. Two seabird species, Black Tern and African Penguin, top the list of all species handled whilst Southern Pale Chanting Goshawk just pips two vulture species to the top of the raptor list. Seabirds dominate the top of the list of waterbirds.
