welcome to Frank Majoor's website.
This website covers information about my bird ringing projects.
I was born in Laren (North Holland). As a youngster I grew up together
with nature. Together with my parents I went out on- and around the
lakes in Friesland and subsequently I really got to know nature in
Holland through the Dutch Youth Society for Nature Studies (NJN).
After studying Ecology at the Rijkshogeschool IJsselland, I
started to work at SOVON Bird Research. My work at SOVON consists of
the coordination of a number of projects such as CES, RAS, nest cards,
and monitoring breeding birds in the Gelderse Poort. In addition,
during summers I am busy with fieldwork, especially with species
specific research on breeding birds.
My hobby is bird ringing research. This started with reading rings
from Black-headed Gulls. And this has grown into extensive bird ringing
research covering different bird species.
I am doing the bird ringing research together with many other people.
In the case of reading rings from the birds which I have ringed, I am
getting support from many other highly motivated observers who send in
their sightings on a regular basis, and from several hundreds of
observers (in The Netherlands and from abroad) which read birds
incidentally. Especially due to the input of many enthousiastic
observers we have accomplished these results.
